8/24: 

I have linked these files here — in the future we’ll use Dropbox.

Read Rose first – we’ll discuss that first and most deeply starting on Tues.  Price & Wells covers some of the same territory and some new. We’re not interested in the history and institutions.  Nor do we care whether photography is art, but the earlier debates about photography and technology will resonate with some contemporary discussions.

The Lange case study is particularly relevant for us. The photos referenced by Price & Wells can be viewed at http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/list/128_migm.html.
