When I last tallied the number of Black photographers and associates I have documented thus far, I counted 87 in my database. Recently I began adding several I discovered via the 1900 and 1910 census, and below is what I have found. There is much more that needs to be uncovered on these seven. If […]
Enjoy these images made by Georgia photographers (plus one other) of couples who were, we hope, each other’s Valentine. These are not all great photographs, but they each tell a story, as do each of these photographers. John Quinton Adams was born in Lynchburg, Virginia on February 1, 1859, and he died in Atlanta, GA […]
This is Veterans Day. It is celebrated each year on November 11th. Great Britain, Australia, and Canada all commemorate the armistice that went into effect on November 11, 1918, which ended the fighting between the Allies and Germany. Today I will share information on World War War I — we Americans have called it Veterans […]
We are heading into what should be a beautiful autumn. There are many interesting photographer-related things that have been added online and/or to the collections of archives and museums in the past several months I would like to share with you. Several of those relate to Photographers Working in the South. Regarding the above stereo […]
Today I want digress from Georgia photographers to share some photographs of memorials, and one biography and photograph, all dedicated to the fallen in the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, the Marines, and the Merchant Marines. All but one of these photos are from the collection of the Library of Congress. Lt. j.g. Barbara […]
It has been that odd time of year in Georgia where one day you are sure that Summer has really started, and a few days later you are wearing a jacket, and then, suddenly it is really hot! This Spring I picked up several good tips for you on new collections and sources in the […]
In time for Women’s History Month in 2021, I counted 275 women among the photographers included in my database. Now, during the same month 2022, I count 283 women in my database, but as I revisited the collections of 1900 and 1910 census records I gathered for “photographers, Georgia,” it seems I’m prospecting for gold! […]
This month I’d like to tell you about three photographers working in Augusta just before, during, and after World War I — Oliver M. Blount (1893-1940), Robert Lee Ellis (1884-1934), and Jackson W. Whitmore (1890 – sometime after 1946). I know something about each of these men, and have not seen any of their photographs. […]
It seems like a funny thought, doesn’t it? Skating photographers? Well, it seems to have happened. And I don’t think they got them for Christmas, as we did when I was a child! Although ice skates had been around northern Europe for centuries, and the first patent for a rolling “skate” was taken out in […]
It’s November 11, 2021, and time to remember those who serve now, those who’ve served our country in the past, as well as all those on the home front, all doing their best to keep us safe. This is also a day to reflect on and remember all those who served in WWI, “the War […]
