History of Color Photography.
[ send me this paper ]
(9pp) Ever since the advent of the daguerreotype and the calotype in 1839, photographers began to search for a way to reproduce their subject matter in color. Indeed, color photographs became available practically as soon as photography itself. But these early attempts at color photography were nothing more than hand tinted black & white photographs of the area. Color theory was still relatively primitive at this time, and the photographic materials available were blind to almost half of the visible spectrum Almost a hundred years would pass, before the necessary film is available to the public.

Man Ray -- “The Poet of the Dark Room”
[ send me this paper ]
This 24 page report discusses the photographer Man Ray (1890 - 1976) who Jean Cocteau referred to as the “poet of the darkroom.” He was born Emmanuel Radnitskyi n Philadelphia in 1890. After he became Man Ray, he also became one of the 20th century's most admired and innovative photographers. His work demonstrated the fact that photography truly is an art form and convinced countless critics that it offered a legitimately artistic way to present a unique and personal form of self-expression. He was also a painter and filmmaker and thought of as one of the avant-garde of Paris in the 1920s. However, it is his photography that has remained as the most lasting representation of his view and representation of the world. Bibliography lists 20 sources.
