Watkins, Edweard Muybridge, and H.H. Bennett" at the Milwaukee Art Museum. These are stereo and 20" x 24" albumen prints from glass plate negatives of the Wisconsin River Dells (Bennett) and the Yosemite valley in the 19th Century. The large prints are from the American Geographical Society Library collection (housed at my university) and I hadn't seen them since I helped make backup publicity copies in the 1980's. They are magnificent. Anyway, on my way out I took this grab shot. The mobile was moving and I only got one satisfying frame (the first). < http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Candids/20180825_MR_MAM_5616.jpg.html > Fuji X-E2, 35mm Summicron.
