( teaching Photo-History does that...) but my questons are 1)what kind of photographers? 2)Prior to the turn of the 20th century? or the last nearly 198 years of photographic reproduction (attempts) Would you classify them by format,decade. era. shooting style.... For instance I am currently working on the curriculem for My History of Photography class and have 2 weeks DEDICATED to THE DOCUMENT... (hell it may be 3 weeks) its broken up into... Combat- Smith, Capa, Burrows, Duncan, etc. Social document- Hines, Riis, Richards, Ferrato, Lange,etc. Photo Essay- Mark, Nachtway, Salgado.(Ick), Evans, Frank, Clark,etc. Personal Document- Frank, Burke, Noggle, Mann,etc. Scientific_ ( I broaden this a bit to include studies... but I feel its the same premis) Edgerton, Derges,etc. If you want I'll send you a copy of my Syllabus when Its done.The class starts in the fall. For those interested in seeing some contemporary photo work and educated insight on it find a copy of "Photography's Multiple Roles"; 1998 Museum of contempory Photography. A good book and along with Newhalls "History of Photography" the textbooks for my class.
