As we are bombarded by photographic images today, it is hard to imagine that the first daguerreotype was created in 1839. From Muybridge and motion, darkroom to digital, the first instant camera Polaroid sold at Jordan Marsh to Instagram, together we will explore the history and process of capturing icons and ideas in print and online.
This class is open to current 2019/2020 BHS members only, and will run from 10 to 11 a.m. on Mondays, April 27 through June 8, skipping Memorial Day Monday, May 25.
