The video we watched gave a brief overview of the early history of photography in the United States. It greatly influenced the culture of the time period, particularly though newspaper photographs, which brought the news closer to home and really grabbed the reader's attention in a way that headlines couldn't.
Another thing that photography did was expand our view of the world. Scientific photographs allowed us to see planets and microscopic organisms that we hadn't ever seen before. This lead into huge advances in many scientific fields.
I thought it was cool how important photographs were to celebreties, which is something I hadn't really thought about before. Photography allowed them to expand their careers by bringing their image into the home and making them seem like real people their fans could know personally.
I would like to know other styles of photography other than the ones mentioned in the film.
