2nd Semester Video Notes:

  • Newspaper = 6-7 editions a day
  • Take photograph and having the people pose and then later posting words/captions into it
  • Had camera strapped to his ankle and capture pictures
1920's:
  • Photographs were replacing drawings and art
  • Public responded more to photos rather than drawings (Drawings could lie, photographs couldn't)
  • Camera can elevate a lonely object into something better and more interesting
  • Taking pictures can make an object become more wanted and needed (cigarettes, lighters, etc.)
  • Photography added new demention to fame = celebrity
  • Babe Ruth was the most photographed at that time; sports celebrity
  • Photos created stars
  • Photographs were being sent around the world through telephone lines
