Photography has come a long way since its inception in the early 19th century. Today, we have access to advanced cameras, lenses, and editing software that allow us to capture and manipulate images with incredible detail and precision. However, there is something to be said for the early technologies that gave birth to the medium we know and love today. This ebook, "Famous Photographs on Glass: Iconic Images Captured with Early Technology," explores the world of early photography and showcases some of the most iconic images captured with glass plate negatives. These images, taken with cameras that used collodion wet plate photography, offer a glimpse into a bygone era of photography, one that was marked by experimentation, innovation, and creativity. In this ebook, you'll discover the fascinating history of glass plate negatives and the photographers who used them to capture the world around them. You'll see famous photographs from the early days of photography, including portraits of Abraham Lincoln, landscapes by William Henry Jackson, and street scenes by Jacob Riis. Furthermore, this ebook will provide you with insights into the process of collodion wet plate photography, from preparing the glass plate to developing the final image. You'll also learn about the challenges and limitations of working with this early technology, including the need for a darkroom and the fragility of the glass plates. I hope this ebook will inspire you to explore the rich history of photography and appreciate the creativity and ingenuity of the photographers who paved the way for modern photography.

A gaunt woman stares into the bleakness of the Great Depression. An exuberant sailor plants a kiss on a nurse in the heart of Times Square. A naked Vietnamese girl runs in terror from a napalm attack. An unarmed man stops a tank in Tiananmen Square. These and a handful of other photographs have become icons of public culture: widely recognized, historically significant, emotionally resonant images that are used repeatedly to negotiate civic identity. But why are these images so powerful? How do they remain meaningful across generations? What do they expose--and what goes unsaid? InNo Caption Needed, Robert Hariman and John Louis Lucaites provide the definitive study of the iconic photograph as a dynamic form of public art. Their critical analyses of nine individual icons explore the photographs themselves and their subsequent circulation through an astonishing array of media, including stamps, posters, billboards, editorial cartoons, TV shows, Web pages, tattoos, and more. As these iconic images are reproduced and refashioned by governments, commercial advertisers, journalists, grassroots advocates, bloggers, and artists, their alterations throw key features of political experience into sharp relief. Iconic images are revealed as models of visual eloquence, signposts for collective memory, means of persuasion across the political spectrum, and a crucial resource for critical reflection. Arguing against the conventional belief that visual images short-circuit rational deliberation and radical critique, Hariman and Lucaites make a bold case for the value of visual imagery in a liberal-democratic society.No Caption Neededis a compelling demonstration of photojournalism's vital contribution to public life....

"Behind Photographs began as the personal quest of photographer Tim Mantoani to document and preserve noted photographers together with their images. "We have come to a point in history where we are losing both photographic recording mediumsphotographic recording mediums and iconic photographers," Mantoani comments. "While many people are familiar with iconic photographs, the general public has no idea of who created them. This book became a means to do that, the photographer and their photograph in one image."--Publisher's website, https://www.channelphotographics.com/behdinphotographs.php, viewed February 6, 2012....
