Annual Conference, PHRC25, CfP: "Photography, Value, History": What is the history of photography’s value a history of? Is it a labour and economic history? An institutional history of museum cataloguing systems and art market pressure? photographichistory.wordpress.com/annual-confe...

There is a new show on about Tromholts drawings of the northern lights at the Polar museum (www.bbc.com/news/article...), but the first proper photographs were made by Carl Størmer in 1909. This one is probably a bit later, but the look is similar.

During «fall cleaning» at the museum we found this Gollum-looking #photographer on one of the photo wallets. 👀😬📷
