Pictorial Photography in America 1920 by Pictorial Photographers of America

I found another great old photography book with lots of photographs. This one is again on Project Gutenberg so you can feel free to read it online or download it to your device.

Most of the photographs are fascinating to me as historical pieces rather than technical masterpieces.

American Handbook of the Daguerrotype by S. D. Humphrey

I found this book titled American Hand Book of the Daguerreotype by S. D. Humphrey. This is a fun period resource of daguerreotype photography. It covers the entire process of producing photographs.

Remember, if you do any of these older processes, such as this one using cyanide, that you face danger and potentially death. Make sure you keep yourself safe by using proper safety precautions in material handling and ventilation.

Since this is book on Project Gutenberg, you can use this book as you wish. Also, you can read it online by choosing the HTML link or if you’d like to download it to your kindle or other reader, you can choose the appropriate link for your device.

American Photography: A Century of Images

PBS had this documentary of American Photography: A Century of Images. It covers the timeless nature of photography and ultimately its uses in politics, propaganda, business, and art.

This is well worth watching though it will take some time.
