"Only if we understand, can we care. Only if we care, we will help. Only if we help, we shall be saved." 🕊🐒 RIP Dame Dr #JaneGoodall. The groundbreaking zoologist, primatologist, and anthropologist has passed away, aged 91.

In 1883 #OTD, Cree photographer Richard Throssel was born in Marengo, Washington Territory, USA. Starting in 1902, he created a catalog of more than 1,000 images of the Crow People and their lifestyles. #CrowNation #NativePhotography #RichardThrossel

Famed Pictorialist photographer Eva Watson-Schütze was born #OTD in 1867. She studied art with Thomas Eakins, but she soon became a strong advocate for women photographers, writing, "I want [my work] judged by only one standard, irrespective of sex." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eva_Wat...

I absolutely agree with #BobMarley 🎯 🎯 🎯 #Pinks #ProudBlue

Seattle professional photographer Adair Rutledge has a great new series called "Nashville Cardinals." It's about a pee-wee football team and "what it means to be a child and expectations for what it means to 'Be a Man'.” Outstanding work! #documentaryphotography adairrutledge.com/NASHVILLE-CA...

I’m super excited about the rare forthcoming exhibition of Symbolist art at the @artinstitutechi.bsky.social. Such amazing imagery. #symbolism #arthistory www.artic.edu/exhibitions/...

Fixed your headline for you, @nytimes.com

How many early women photographers do you know? Here’s my starting list for some of the best. #womenphotographers #photohistory

Such a wonderful and yet unusual portrait. Theo van Rysselberghe - Portrait of Irma Sèthe. 1894. Musée du Petit Palais. What's going on with the half-exposed person in the next room whose hand captures a strangely disproportionate amount of attention? #neoimpressionism #pointalism #VanRysselberghe

For fans of early mobile photography studios, I just posted the initial results of my research about the Boston Railroad Photo Car. As many as 13 of these cars traveled throughout the American West during the 1890s. www.timgreyhavens.com/post/the-bos... #photohistory #mobilepotographystudios

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

How I'm actually feeling on this Wednesday evening.

E. Jane Gay, who some historians identify as America's first lesbian photographer, was born #OTD. In 1889, she accompanied her future life partner, Alice Cunningham Fletcher, on an expedition to photograph the Winnebago and the Nez Perce Peoples in the West. #LGBTQ+photographers #womenphotographers

This sentence from a new review of my book makes me very happy: "In sum, Artistic and Life-Like is more than a regional history or photographic survey; it’s a meditation on how we remember, what we preserve, and who gets to be seen." seattlebookreview.com/product/arti...

#OTD 117 years ago, American photographer Minor White was born in Minneapolis, MN. Over the course of his 50+ year career, he became one of the most influential photographic artists and teachers of the 20th century. #MinorWhite #photohistory #LGBTQphotographers en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_W...

Van Morrison wrote some of his most enigmatic lyrics with Saint Dominic's Preview. It's his life encapsulated. Shammy cleaning all the windows Singing songs about Edith Piaf's soul And I hear blue strains of no regret Across the street from Cathedral Notre Dame www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8oB...

I urge anyone who cares about democracy and our freedom to read this book as soon as possible. It’s small and brief, and it sums up everything that’s been going on in this country for many years. Snyder packs more into his 20 points/chapters than many books ten times this size. #nokings

On a fair summer's day like today, Sarah Angelina Acland was born in Oxford, England. She was one of the earliest amateur color photographers, having utilized the process during two visits to Gibraltar in 1903 and 1904. #photohistory #womenphotographers en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_A...

In 1853 #OTD, photographer Frank La Roche was born in Philadelphia. He slowly made his way west, with stops in Florida, Salt Lake City, and New Orleans. He arrived in #Seattle just one month after the Great Fire of 1889 wiped out most of the city's downtown. #photohistory #Seattlehistory

The Alice Austin House on Staten Island has received nearly 7,500 prints and negatives made by its namesake resident. Austin (1866-1952) was a key figure in early American photography and queer cultural history. #photohistory #womenphotographers #queerphotographers #aliceaustin

In 1871 #OTD, British photographer and novelist Anna Atkins died in Halstead Place, Kent, England. Her self-published books of photograms of various algae are generally recognized as the first photo-illustrated books. #photohistory #annaatkins #womenphotographers en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_At...

Born #OTD in 1894, Consuelo Kanaga was one of America's important and mostly forgotten women photographers of the 20th century. She exhibited in the first Group f/64 show in 1931 and later joined the Photo League in New York. #womenphotographers #photohistory hyperallergic.com/1006384/cons...

Exciting news from @metmuseum.org. #photography #photohistory #museums #artcollectors

Charis Wilson (1914-2009) was photographer Edward Weston's girlfriend, wife, inspiration, and, for many years, essential collaborator in his work. She was born 111 years ago #OTD and was with Weston from 1934 to 1946, when he created some of his most famous images.

Oregon photographer Sarah Hall Ladd (1857-1927) died #OTD in Carmel, CA. Born in Massachusetts, she moved to Portland, OR, with her new husband, Charles Ladd, in 1881. She took up photography to pass the time while her husband was working, and it quickly became her passion.

My short biography of Claude Alexander Conlin (“Alexander, the Man Who Knows”) is now available on @historylink.bsky.social. His life was so wild and crazy that it sounds like fiction, but most of his escapades are well-documented. #washingtonstate historylink.org/File/23226

This week in #photohistory: Famed Southwest photographer Laura Gilpin (1891-1979) was born in Colorado Springs, CO. She took hundreds of photos of Navajo, Pueblo, and other Native peoples of the Southwest, as well as many stunning landscapes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_G... #womenphotographers

Looking for nominations: what is the earliest book published in America and featuring photographic prints by an American photographer (or photographers)? Something similar to "The Pencil of Nature" but printed in America. #photohistory #americanphotography #photobooks

Beautiful images and important stories. Ignore the 1950/1850 typo date for the image below. #photography #photohistory #historyofphotography

You don’t get much more pure art than the neural network of a mouse’s brain.

I recently acquired this wonderful portrait, made in the 1890s, somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. Does anyone recognize this style/culture/significance of the unusual six-pointed hat the seated girl is wearing? #photography #vintageportraits #vintageclothing

Important reading for anyone who reads.

Robert Demachy. Woman with Long Hair. 1903. Gum bichromate print. 21.9 x 16.3 cm. Société Française Photographie, Paris.

One of the all-time masters of photography, Edward Weston, was born #OTD in Highland Park, IL. Best known for his luminous landscape images, he started out in the pictorialist mode. Some of his most famous early images are portraits of his friends and other artists from the Bay Area of California.

There are some photographs that I'll never be able to create again. #nature #landscape #forests #clearcuts #resistance

Samella Lewis (1923-2022) was known as the "Godmother of African American Art." She was the first Black woman to earn a doctorate in fine arts and art history and founded the Museum of African American Art in Los Angeles. #WomensHistoryMonth #31DaysOfWomensHistory
