Podcast appearances and mentions of edward curtis

Headlines from around the world flash on our television screens and appear on our newsfeeds, but we don't always know what life is like for journalists who often risk their lives to deliver the news.  New York Times columnist, Pulitzer Prize winner, and bestselling author Nicholas D. Kristof has penned a memoir, Chasing Hope: A Reporter's Life about his four decades in and out of the newsroom — not only as a reporter but also as a foreign correspondent, bureau chief, and columnist. Since 1984, Kristof has worked almost continuously for the New York Times and has reported from around the globe, crossing cultural and continental lines. Kristof witnessed and wrote about some of the most memorable events in this century: the Tiananmen Square protests and massacre, the Yemeni civil war, the Darfur genocide in Sudan, and the epidemic of addiction that swept through his hometown in rural Oregon and a broad swath of working-class America. Readers of Chasing Hope will learn about Kristof's colleagues as well as laymen who impacted his life, such as the dissident whom he helped escape from China and a Catholic nun who browbeat a warlord into releasing kidnapped schoolgirls. Kristof believes that he has seen some of the worst of humanity as well as the best. The memoir details Kristof's long and eventful career as a journalist and examines ideas of global citizenship forged over a lifetime. Nicholas D. Kristof is an op-ed columnist for The New York Times, where he was previously bureau chief in Hong Kong, Beijing, and Tokyo. He is the co-author, with his wife, Sheryl WuDunn, of five previous books: Tightrope, A Path Appears, Half the Sky, Thunder from the East, and China Wakes. He was awarded two Pulitzer Prizes, one with WuDunn in 1990 for their coverage of China, and the second in 2006 for his columns on Darfur. Timothy Egan is a Pulitzer Prize winning reporter and the author of nine other books, most recently the highly acclaimed A Pilgrimage to Eternity and The Immortal Irishman, a New York Times bestseller. His book on the Dust Bowl, The Worst Hard Time, won a National Book Award for Excellence in Nonfiction. His account of photographer Edward Curtis, Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher, won the Carnegie Medal for nonfiction. Buy the Book Chasing Hope: A Reporter's Life Third Place Books

“Regarde !”150 ans de livres de photographies pour les enfantsà la Maison de la Photographie Robert Doisneau, Gentillydu 1er mars au 31 mai 2024Interview de Laurence Le Guen, autrice du livre « 150 ans de photolittérature pour les enfants » publié aux éditions MeMo et commissaire de l'exposition,par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Gentilly, le 26 février 2024, durée 25'07,© FranceFineArt.https://francefineart.com/2024/02/29/3519_regarde_maison-de-la-photographie-robert-doisneau/Communiqué de presseCommissariat : Laurence Le Guen, autrice d'une thèse sur les ouvrages photographiques pour enfants, chercheuse associée au laboratoire du Cellam à l'université Rennes 2, membre de l'Afreloce et professeure de lettres.L'exposition est composée de prêts issus de collections publiques (Fonds patrimonial Heure Joyeuse – Médiathèque Françoise Sagan) et de prêts issus de collections particulières Née au XIXème siècle, la photographie investit très tôt le livre, afin de pouvoir être diffusée efficacement au plus grand nombre. Loin de réserver ce canal de diffusion aux adultes, les photographes voient là une possibilité de conquérir un nouveau public : les enfants. Collaborant avec des écrivains, ils s'essaient avec entrain à la création d'ouvrages pour la jeunesse, et font preuve d'une très grande inventivité pour créer autour de leurs images des fictions, des livres d'apprentissage ou des albums novateurs.Ces créations dites photolittéraires sont le reflet de leur époque, témoignent de la variété des courants pédagogiques, esthétiques et politiques, mais aussi des avancées techniques qui accompagnent le développement de la photographie.Longtemps la photographie fut la mal aimée des livres pour enfants. Aujourd'hui encore, la photographie reste marginale en littérature jeunesse et le livre photo-illustré souffre toujours d'un manque de reconnaissance. Pourtant, depuis quelques années, on redécouvre l'importance et la variété de cette abondante production. On se rend compte que bon nombre de grands photographes ont contribué activement à son histoire : Ansel Adams, Laure Albin-Guillot, Claude Cahun, Edward Curtis, Dominique Darbois, Robert Doisneau, Hannah Höch, Frank Horvat, André Kertész, François Kollar, Ergy Landau, Jacques-Henri Lartigue, Thérèse Le Prat, Duane Michals, Annette Messager, Sarah Moon, Marc Riboud, Alexander Rodtchenko, Cindy Sherman, Emmanuel Sougez, Edward Steichen, William Wegman, pour lesquels ces livres font pleinement partie de leurs oeuvres.Bien plus, des titres signés des maîtres de la photographie sont réédités et figurent désormais dans les rayonnages des bibliothèques enfantines. Ainsi, les assemblages d'objets hétéroclites de la photographe surréaliste Claude Cahun (1894-1954) pour le Coeur de Pic sont de nouveau accessibles. La fourrure des oursons de la photographe animalière Ylla (1911-1955) est plus soyeuse que jamais. Et les jeunes lecteurs peuvent désormais admirer la profondeur du noir et blanc des images du photographe japonais Eiköh Hosoe (né en 1933) dans Taka-Chan et moi.La Maison de la Photographie Robert Doisneau invite aujourd'hui le public à redécouvrir l'histoire de cette production rarement présentée au public par les institutions.[...]Laurence Le Guen, Commissaire de l'exposition Hébergé par Acast.

I had Dr. Larry Len Peterson on today, and we're discussing his new book "Edward S. Curtis, Printing the Legends: Looking at Shadows in a West Lit Only by Fire" it's a terrific book. I read this whole book and I'm going to read it again. There's just so much information, not only about Edward Curtis, but about that whole time frame from 1860 to 1945. All the big players, whether it's J.P. Morgan or Buffalo Bill or Custer, and even the Indian boarding school systems.  If you're interested in Curtis, this podcast is a must-listen. The other component that makes this project so important is the array of beautiful reproductions within the book. Did I mention he only printed 1,000 copies? It's not going to be available for long and it's going to be one of those great collector items.Dr. Peterson is uniquely positioned to write a book like this. He's a great author. He's won dozens of awards and he is a former physician who has written and published many research papers in his previous area of expertise. He's just one of these polymath individuals that you're lucky you get to meet and have in your life.Fortunately, I was lucky enough to be able to meet Dr. Larry Len Peterson and have been working with him on occasion. I'm glad I had the opportunity to spend time with this book and delve into the subject of Edward Curtis with an expert. So I hope you enjoy. It's a two-parter. This is part two.

This week on Listening to America, Clay Jenkinson interviews professional photographers John and Coleen Graybill of Buena Vista, Colorado, about the life and achievement of Edward S. Curtis. Curtis took 40,000 dry glass plate photographs of Native Americans between 1900 and 1935, and published 20 volumes of his portraits, landscape photographs, musical notations, and a gigantic amount of ethnographic prose. John is the great great grandson of Edward Curtis. The Graybills are traveling the West photographing descendants of individuals that Curtis photographed, and interviewing them on video about their lives and their heritage. They have released two books of previously unpublished Curtis photographs. It's an amazing story of love, integrity, and perseverance.

Texas State University's David Coleman, director of The Wittliff Collections at Texas State University, joins the Big Ideas TXST podcast to discuss the legacy of Edward Curtis and his photography collection, “The North American Indian.”In 1906 Curtis received a grant from financier J.P. Morgan to record, through photography and the written word, all Native American tribes who retained some degree of their “primitive” lifestyle. Native Americans were almost wholly confined to reservations by this time, and they were subjected to federal programs that forced their assimilation to Western ways. Curtis felt passionately that their cultures should be chronicled before they disappeared altogether.The North American Indian is one of the most ambitious photographic projects ever undertaken. Published from 1907 to 1930, it documents more than 100 peoples' languages, stories and songs, along with extensive illustration by Curtis' photography. Yet his work has also come under scrutiny, revealing that in some cases he used the same clothing or accessories for multiple tribes and he retouched many of his negatives to remove Western items like suspenders, parasols and more. Curtis is regarded by some as a notorious “faker,” and he is criticized for romanticizing Native Americans at a time when their forced assimilation into Western culture denied their rights and dignity.Coleman came to Texas State in 2011 from the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin, where he served as the chief curator for photography. He earned his doctorate in art history from the University of Texas in 2005 and has worked at the Ransom Center since 1996.FURTHER READING:Edward Curtis: Treasures of The North American IndianEdward Curtis 

In the 1890s, B.A. Haldane sets up a photography studio in Alaska and begins documenting the vibrant life of his Tsimshian community—even as non-Native photographers like Edward Curtis are trekking to reservations, documenting what they believe is a "vanishing race.” Quietly contradicting a president and scientists steeped in theories of white supremacy and evolution, Haldane and others offer an alternative vision only now being rediscovered. A story of resistance and resilience and what we miss by seeing only through our own lens.

I had Victoria Adams on today and wow, what a delightful person she is. She's such an upbeat, happy person. I've been very familiar with her work for probably two decades, and she always exhibits at prominent Indian Market events. Victoria is known for her beautifully designed jewelry and she makes custom handbags that are to die for.This year at SWAIA Indian Market, she won the best of class for the diverse arts category, which is a big, big deal. Her entry was very unique mixed-media sculpture that included a tripod with glass containers. It was a piece of three-dimensional art that really meant a lot to her and we talked a lot about it.We talk about the importance Indian market, her career, and how she went from really not being in the arts to being a powerhouse in the world of - not only native arts - but just arts, period. So this was a very fun and enjoyable podcast. I really did have a great time with Victoria Adams.

The Roaring Twenties – the Jazz Age – has been characterized as a time of Gatsby frivolity. But it was also the height of the uniquely American hate group, the Ku Klux Klan. Their domain was not the old Confederacy, but the Heartland and the West. They hated Blacks, Jews, Catholics, and immigrants in equal measure, and took radical steps to keep these people from the American promise. And the man who set in motion their takeover of great swaths of America was a charismatic charlatan named D.C. Stephenson. Stephenson was a magnetic presence whose life story changed with every telling. Within two years of his arrival in Indiana, he'd become the Grand Dragon of the state and the architect of the strategy that brought the group out of the shadows – their message endorsed from the pulpits of local churches, spread at family picnics and town celebrations. Judges, prosecutors, ministers, governors, and senators across the country all proudly proclaimed their membership. But at the peak of his influence, it was a seemingly powerless woman – Madge Oberholtzer – who would reveal his secret cruelties, and whose deathbed testimony finally brought the Klan to their knees. Timothy Egan is a Pulitzer Prize—winning reporter and the author of nine other books, most recently the highly acclaimed A Pilgrimage to Eternity and The Immortal Irishman, a New York Times bestseller.

This week, we turn to non-fiction and events in a decade of U.S. history that is unknown to most Americans. The 1920's were known for remarkable social change. In the wake of World War I, there was cultural exuberance, the first real skyscrapers, jazz age, flappers, the Charleston, and also prohibition. There was also a resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan, and surprising to many, it came in the north. As award-winning journalist Timothy Egan writes in his remarkable new book to be released April 4th A Fever in the Heartland, the Klan held a lot of power in the state of Indiana. As a vicious, sadistic, charlatan, Eagan says the KKK leader David C. Stephenson encouraged millions in Indiana alone to join the Klan. Egan says one in three white men in the state, not to mention women and children, took the oath. And this in a state that had lost 25,000 Union soldiers in the Civil War just 50 years previous. Egan writes that Stephenson thought himself above the law - “I am the law” he declared. But his brutal treatment of one woman, largely unknown to history, Madge Oberholtzer, brought him down and began the disintegration of the Klan, not only in Indiana, but in the rest of the country. It's a sobering story well told by Egan. One, we felt, worthy of attention by all of us.

Brother to Edward, Asahel Curtis had his own approach to capturing the culture of the region. The way we see the modern history of the Pacific Northwest would have been very different if a certain family of homesteaders hadn't settled in Kitsap County in the late nineteenth century.  Out of that family of farmers would come, not one, but two prolific photographers whose work would help define the region for generations to come.  Edward Curtis is the more famous of the two brothers, his stylized portraits of Native Americans securing himself a place in the pantheon of frontier photographers. But his younger brother Asahel has his own legacy and an encyclopedic portfolio of images that serves as a more accurate record of life in the Northwest at the turn of the century. Knute Berger touched on this history in a recent episode of his Mossback's Northwest video series, but there is much more to explore.  For this episode of the Mossback podcast, Berger and co-host Sara Bernard go deep into the history of the Curtis brothers, detail their complicated relationship and discuss how Asahel managed to captured the spirit of the Northwest while assuring his own commercial success.  Before listening, we suggest you watch the original Mossback's Northwest episode about Asahel Curtis here. --- Credits Hosts: Sara Bernard, Knute Berger Producer: Seth Halleran Executive producer: Mark Baumgarten  

We spend this week answering listener questions, including one asking us to discuss Jack Jouett. On June 3, 1781, Jouett made a 40-mile "midnight ride" on horseback to Charlottesville, Virginia and gave advance warning to Thomas Jefferson and Virginia legislators that the British were coming. Jouett's extraordinary ride that night enabled them to escape to safety.

Just the three of us this week as we recover from the trip to Dave Shrimpton's house. This was meant to be more of an email show but there was really only one we could read out and that was just a brilliant one from Pakistan based visual artist Jahanzeb Haroon.   Things we chatted about on the show:   Andrew kicked off the discussion with “what we've all been up to”. Shamefully but rationally explained, no LF work from him for ages. The darkroom extension has been an all consuming project and with the first paying workshop customer coming in August the pressure has been on to at least get it functional, and it is now.   Returning from a holiday in Northumberland Andrew has a number of rolls of fil m to develop including 4 or 5 127 films, some HP5 and a roll of expired Astia that he exposed in his Toyo 45a with the 6x17 back. The question goes begging “do we or should we take large format gear on a family holiday”?   Another reason for not exposing too much LF film recently is the need to nail down rotary processing in his Jobo CPE2 or the new variable speed rotating base recently received from Student Photo Store on ebay.  Settling down to PyrocatHD and ID111+1 will reduce the creative choices, and darkroom is needed to play around.   Earlier in the year Mat Marrash posted a video all about determining your own personal film speed and “normal” developing time  using a Stouffer TP45 step wedge, after years of doing this by trial and error Andrew has taken the plunge and ordered a step wedge. Mat's video and a link to the Stouffer site below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN-LM1lM8Kg&t=1005s   https://stouffer.net/Photo.htm#:~:text=Stouffer%20Craftsmanship%20Transmission%20Projection%20%28TP%29%20Step%20Wedges%20are,concept%20used%20when%20approaching%20the%20art%20of%20photography.   Both Erik and Simon have been up to way more exciting things, actually exposing and playing around with LF film and paper.   Erik has been deep diving into lens building with Bronica ETRS lenses and more (see Erik's IG site below).   Erik posted into the LFPP Facebook group ongoing work with Faux Orotones with some lovely results. The Orotone process was made famous by Edward Curtis and more info can be found on line (OK Wikipedia to the rescue) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orotone   Erik is looking for a similar effect using gold spray paint and it works really well.   Simon has been busy using his Chroma camera both in and out of the studio with some expired velvia and, in the 6 towns studio, some Harman Direct Positive paper. We have a chat about the challenges of using HDP and its limited tonal range (high contrast). The Ilford PDF data sheet and a recent Ilford video presented by Rachel Brewster-Wright are very helpful if you are thinking of using this great paper for the first time.   https://www.ilfordphoto.com/harman-direct-positive-paper-sheets   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFUSiRwfOHs   On the subject of film speed testing friend of the show Billy Sanford recently appeared on the Sunny 16 presents show and talked about his experience with a Richard Pickup approach to film speed testing – he actually cited our LFPP interview with Richard as inspiration.   https://sunny16presents.podbean.com/e/on-location-the-goldilocks-negative-with-billy-sanford/   LFPP listener and FB member Jahenzeb Haroon sent in a lovely email talking all about analogue photography in Pakistan, it's a great email and do check out Jahenzeb's work which he produces very much against the odds. We take off our collective hats and not in his direction. https://www.instagram.com/junk.lab/   And this link all about one of Pakistan's oldest photography practices that is still going. https://www.globalvillagespace.com/zaidis-photographers-pakistans-majestic-kaliedoscope/?fbclid=IwAR3nBFNa8cvo6sJvdxDykAR0MziXteY0Ep05OiOItZHQ5adntspdyGXhkWM       LFPP links -   https://largeformatphotographypodcast.podbean.com/   ko-fi.com/largeformatphotographypodcast   You can join in the fun at our Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/2296599290564807/   And now our Flikr group curated by Colin Devroe https://www.flickr.com/groups/lfpp/   Get Twitter updates for the show from Andrew – https://twitter.com/warboyssnapper   Or from Simon – https://twitter.com/simonfor   Email feedback, ideas and questions for the podcast largeformatphotographypodcast@gmail.com   Podcast Hosts Social Media presence   Simon Forster www.classiclensespodcast.com   www.simonforsterphotographic.co.uk   https://stores.ebay.co.uk/itsfozzyphotography   https://www.flickr.com/photos/125323761@N07/   https://www.facebook.com/SimonForsterPhotographic/   https://www.instagram.com/simonforsterphotographic/   https://twitter.com/SimonFor   Andrew Bartram https://anchor.fm/thelenslesspodcast   https://andrewbartram.wordpress.com   https://www.instagram.com/warboyssnapper   https://www.instagram.com/warboyssnapper_pinholes   https://www.flickr.com/photos/warboyssnapper/   https://twitter.com/warboyssnapper   Erik Mathy A not updated website. https://www.erikmathy.com/about   IG probably best for all things including rabbits. https://www.instagram.com/erikhmathy/?hl=en   Stay Safe    

Since the late 19th century, Arabs from dozens of countries and various religious backgrounds have emigrated to Indiana, starting on Willard Street, now the location of Lucas Oil Stadium. Our guest, Edward Curtis, is a publicly-engaged scholar of Muslim American, African American, and Arab American history and life, serving as a teacher and scholar at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis.

This 2016 movie directed by Antoine Fuqua, better than most remakes. Frankly we're exhausted with remakes at this point. So it's refreshing to see one that comes out that's unique but also just a good stand alone movie. Thank god there isn't going to be a sequel too, can't stand it when remakes go and remake it but also extend the universe they created.  This movie brought us Martin Sensmeier! This was his breakout film and he went on to have roles in West World, The Liberator, and Wind River! He's a hell of an actor that did a killer job in this movie.  While some stuff was problematic in this, overall the Native representation is better than it has been. So I recommend checking this one out. Listen to me discuss the positives, negatives, and also why I believe Jonathan Joss's character looks like he's straight out of an Edward Curtis photograph. 

In today's podcast, Ed talks to Paul and Joanne about how the discovery of the inspirational photographs of the Natives of North America by the famous American photographer Edward Curtis, drives Paul's art towards a new chapter. One of the most influential periods in his career begins here in 1975.

In this episode, the life and work of photographer Edward S. Curtis (1868-1952), who was nicknamed the shadow catcher by Native Americans. His masterwork The North American Indian was monumental, but has also come under criticism for including staged, posed, and manipulated imagery. In this podcast, we learn about Curtis' life and work -- and the project that was his life's obsession. Sources: 1. Makepeace, Anne. Edward S. Curtis: Coming to Light.

Dr. Tricia Loscher and I did a podcast back in December, I've been fortunate enough to be a co-curator with Tricia on the major Maynard Dixon exhibit "Maynard Dixon's American West" and she wrote the foreword for my Dixon book. That Maynard Dixon exhibit is hanging at the Scottsdale Museum of the West and will run through August 2021. If you haven't visited the Scottsdale Museum of the West, just know it's a great museum and has a wonderful collection of artistic and anthropological material. It was really interesting to hear about Dr. Loscher's love of museums and her desire to be a curator at age 7. She was also involved in art and could've gone that direction if the circumstances were slightly different, but culture and curation were what she was ultimately called to study. You don't get the opportunity to find somebody who is so honed in on their profession very often so this podcast if you're interested in curation and want to know what the museum world is all about, gives us a nice insight into the inner-workings of one of the best Western museums in the country. Dr. Loscher clearly loves what she does and she was a joy to work with as a co-curator on the Dixon exhibit and to have as a guest on this edition of Art Dealer Diaries.

Dr. Larry Peterson joined me for a podcast in November. He's a fascinating, interesting man and you know every once in a while you meet somebody and you say to yourself "this guy's done a lot more than I have" and in this case he really has. Dr. Peterson is a dermatologist that published numerous medical research papers before pivoting at the age of 56 to focus on his writing ability in the world of art. He's written books on the artist Phillip Goodwin, the photographer L. A. Huffman, he wrote a major book 700-page opus called "American Trinity", another on John Fery, and two books on Charlie Russell, ane one on John Clark, a person I didn't know about until I started doing research on Dr. Peterson for this podcast and was an interesting western woodcarver, Dr. Peterson has a sense of what the West is and what his role is in the West.I highly recommend listening to the entire podcast. It was fun for me and sometimes when you get somebody you really find interesting and unique you just don't want it to end. You just keep going more granular wanting one more tib bit of information. I understand that people might feel a little exhausted after almost two hours of two former medical professionals talking about Western art, but if you like art history, if you like to hear how somebody is able to be a very accomplished individual - not only in their own field - but in another disparate area, then this is the individual that you will want to listen to.

In this episode, the IRC team discussed the power of song in an Indigenous worldview. The discussion centers on the preservation of Love Songs by Edward S. Curtis and Claude Schaeffer and how these efforts allow us to examine these songs and context. Of interest is the spiritual power of songs in Indigenous worldview and how this they can be situated in a modern context. The question arises whether songs, as one of the most important parts of Indigenous spirituality and lifeway, can have a space in modern academics and research. How can Indigenous scholars and communities reclaim this knowledge authentically?

In this episode I'm sharing tips on dealing with twentieth century baby photos and news from Rootstech. You're probably thinking I wish I was the Photo Detective. I bet she doesn't have any unidentified photos.  Well...that's not quite true. I have some. Most folks do. I'm working through the few I have by studying the clues and my family history.  One of them is a group portrait. My Dad identified his father and grandfather. The rest are up to me. It's likely a community group gathered for a summer outing. That's the hard part.  More about this photo in a future episode of The Photo Detective. In a recent blog post I shared details about a photo buying trip with my daughter. She knows the sentimental value of photos and was appalled to see the piles of baby pictures in baskets and boxes.  Discarded and unloved. It struck a chord with us both. For some reason baby pictures seem to end up without names. At least that's my experience viewing client photo collections.  Those unidentified infant snapshots nag me to solve their mystery.  So I took another look at the ones in my collection. I'm lucky.  My Mom is still with us and her memory is pretty good for 90.  We've gone through the photos and she's identified most of them. She gets stuck on the baby photos. I mean who doesn't.  We think we're going to write the names on the back, but why would we. We know the identity of that cherubic face. Therein lies the problem.  Fast forward a few decades and you find you have more than a few photos of infants. I do. I bet you do too. I was working through my images adding metadata in MemoryWeb when I kept finding baby pictures with no names on the backs. It's like they sprouted from the collection when I wasn't looking.  It's one of those moments when you think, HOW could I have overlooked that?! So what's a family photo detective to do?  Here are some suggestions. Ask a Relative So first I asked Mom.  Problem was, every baby was my cousin Lou. That can't be right I thought. I won't tell you WHY she thought they were all him. It's one of those family things.  Do you have a relative you can ask either a DNA match or through a genealogy database like Ancestry, Family Search, or MyHeritage? MyHeritage Instant Discoveries might help connect you to a cousin.  Listen to episode # to learn more about how Instant Discoveries worksResearch the PhotographerWhile All of my mystery baby pictures are snapshots you might have some taken in a studio.  I treat photographers like members of the family and research them using city directories, census records, AND by googling the name.  Work dates for the studios might help put the photo in a time frame. Lay out the images. There is something about seeing all your mystery photos laid out in view. You can spot things you've missed.  It's all about getting a new perspective on the image. I'll often look at the real photos but also examine them on my computer so I can easily enlarge details.  In this case, I'll start by putting them on the table. I already know they aren't the same infant because the photo formats are a bit different. They all date from the mid-twentieth century.  A lot of my first cousin's on my Mom's side were born then. So who's who? That's what I'm trying to figure out. Look at the DetailsNext up is studying the details in the picture. The baby carriages, their clothing, and what's in the background. It might be household goods or if it was taken outside there could be a car. None of these images feature another person. That would be TOO easy.  I'll look at each image one at a time and research the details. A Game of Facial ConcentrationYou know that game where you lay all the cards down on a table face down and you try to find the matches.  That's what it's like when you start to compare faces. MemoryWeb incorporates an algorithm that gets smarter with facial identification. It's pretty cool.  These babies are making it stumble right now. So it's time to take out all the photos of my cousins and lay them side by side the baby images. I'm sure one of them is Lou but not all of them.  I have other photographs of him as a toddler and a baby. Babies have soft faces but some have identifiers that make them stand out--a full head of hair, pointy ears, eye color for instance. Photo news from RootstechMyHeritage  founder shared that there were 1 million images colorized in a few days with their MyHeritage In Color™ tool. It's pretty cool. Right now, anyone can use it.  Improvements include the ability to download side by side images of the original and the colorized one.  A logo in the corner of the colorized ones identifying them as enhanced. The machine learning model means that there will be changes to color accuracy too.  Using their database of uploaded images, MyHeritage is trying create a tool to date photos. Watch for news of this development!   MyHeritage also announced a new City Directory collection. This is great news whether you're searching for a family member or the photographer that took your great grandparent's photo. Unfortunately I heard some unfortunate news at Rootstech.  Flip-pal is currently no longer. I don't have all the details, but when I came home I immediately hugged the one in my office.  It revolutionized our ability to bring a scanner with us and it was only the size of a small purse. There are other small scanners out there.  I don't use sheet fed scanners with images nor do I use a wand. I'll be giving the Doxie Q scanner a try. It's a bit more expensive than a Flip-pal but it holds approximately 7200 images and integrates with an app for smartphones. It has 8GB of memory.  At two pounds and less than a foot it's small enough to carry around. IMystery Photo of the Month.February seems to be the time for huge photo discoveries.  Last year at Rootstech, I did a virtual consult with a woman and discovered that she had an Edward Curtis photo in her family collection. Curtis's cyanotypes documented Native Americans and it is thought his images were first printed this way. Their blue tone is quite distinctive. This month a consult with a couple,  revealed that the wife owned a snapshot of a well known western female celebrity in a family album. An auction house agreed with my analysis.   I can't tell you who yet, that's a secret until the family decides what to do with the image. Stay tuned for news about two new Master Classes this Spring.Links:New Tools From MyHeritage.com Best Portable Scanners of 2020Sign up for the Wait List for the Next Digital Photo Organizing with Memory Web Master Class.Use this link for a 30% discount on Memory WebSign up for my newsletter.Watch my YouTube Channel.Like the Photo Detective Facebook Page so you get notified of my Facebook Live videos.Need help organizing your photos?

Every summer, writers from all over the country head to the base of the towering Wallowa Mountains for Summer Fishtrap, a conference about writing and the West. This year, the festival runs July 10–16 with a slew of workshops, public events, and a keynote talk by the award-winning nature writer Robert Michael Pyle.In anticipation of the event, we're going to listen back to a live show we did at the festival last year, where we talked with the National Book Award–winner Timothy Egan, several founders of the festival, and two up-and-coming Native writers. 01:00 A round table with festival founders Kim Stafford (writer and Lewis and Clark professor) and Rich Wandschneider (former longtime Fishtrap director and now head of the Josephy library), as well as festival board president Rose Caslar, a Wallowa County native who took her first Fishtrap class at 15. They talk about Josephy's influence, the place of Western writing, the reaction to hanging a four-point buck rack in a Lewis and Clark College dormitory and the area's troubled relationship with its original inhabitants, the Nez Perce. 13:30 - The Josephy Center for Arts and Culture director, Cheryl Coughlan, tells us about how the center helps to culture a creative life in a rural community. 17:56 - Keynote speaker Timothy Egan discusses reporting on stories hidden in plain site.

His published the book he told us about, "The Immortal Irishman," in March. 25:10 - We venture to Fishtrap's lodge for a youth workshop on writing hip-hop theater with poet Myrlin Hepworth, who has a new mixtape out called "Eulogy in Blue." 29:10 - Roberta Connor, the director of the Tamastlikt Cultural Institute whose family includes Nez Perce, Umatilla and Cayuse ancestry, was invited to Fishtrap to talk about what happens when Native stories are told by white writers and to share some of the hidden stories that speak most deeply to her.36:57 - We close with a discussion with two of this year's most rambunctious workshop leaders, writers Erika Wurth and Sherwin Bitsui. Wurth, who is Apache, Chickasaw and Cherokee, most recently published "Crazy Horse's Girlfriend" and is working on a novel about Native gangs. Bitsui is a Diné from the Navajo Reservation in White Cone, Arizona, and his most recent poetry collection, "Floodsong," won the American Book Award and the PEN Open Book Award.The music in this week's show comes from Tony Furtado's newest album, "The Bell."

Every summer, writers from all over the country head to the base of the towering Wallowa Mountains for Summer Fishtrap, a conference about writing and the West. This year, they celebrated the 100th anniversary of the birth of one of the festival's founders, the journalist and historian Alvin Josephy, with the theme “Hidden From History: Stories We Haven’t Heard, Stories We Haven’t Told.”We couldn't resist the draw of a roadtrip to the mountains, so we invited a number of Fishtrap founders and visiting writers to join us for a live show at the Josephy Center for Arts and Culture. A round table with festival founders Kim Stafford (writer and Lewis and Clark professor) and Rich Wandschneider (former longtime Fishtrap director and now head of the Josephy library), as well as festival board president Rose Caslar, a Wallowa County native who took her first Fishtrap class at 15. They talk about Josephy's influence, the place of Western writing, the reaction to hanging a four-point buck rack in a Lewis and Clark College dormitory and the area's troubled relationship with its original inhabitants, the Nez Perce. 13:30 - Josephy Center director Cheryl Coughlan tells us about how the center helps to culture a creative life in a rural community. 17:56 - Keynote speaker Timothy Egan discusses reporting on stories hidden in plain site. Best known for his National Book Award–winning “The Worst Hard Time,” chronicling Dust Bowl stories, Egan has also written about the photographer Edward Curtis, the wildfire that gave rise to the U.S. Forest Service and western issues of all types for his regular op-eds in the "New York Times." 25:10 - We venture to Fishtrap's lodge for a youth workshop on writing hip-hop theater with poet Myrlin Hepworth. 29:10 - Roberta Connor, the director of the Tamastlikt Cultural Institute whose family includes Nez Perce, Umatilla and Cayuse ancestry, was invited to Fishtrap to talk about what happens when Native stories are told by white writers and to share some of the hidden stories that speak most deeply to her. 36:57 - We close with a discussion with two of this year's most rambunctious workshop leaders, writers Erika Wurth and Sherwin Bitsui. Wurth, who is Apache, Chickasaw and Cherokee, most recently published "Crazy Horse's Girlfriend" and is working on a novel about Native gangs. Bitsui is a Diné from the Navajo Reservation in White Cone, Arizona, and his most recent poetry collection, "Floodsong," won the American Book Award and the PEN Open Book Award.The music in this week's show comes from Tony Furtado's newest album, "The Bell." Furtado has a slew of Oregon shows coming up, including one near the Wallowas at Enterprise's OK Theater on July 30.
