Photo Inspiration from a Classic

The photo exhibition, “The Family of Man,” opened in 1955 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. At the time, Edward Steichen (photographer and curator of the exhibit), described the collection of 503 images as “A mirror of the essential oneness of mankind throughout the world.” 

The images by photographers around the world was published in the book, The Family of Man, and has been in print continuously since 1955. Of the thousands of books about photography, this is a classic, timeless essential for any photographer’s book shelf.

The skill and artistry on these pages has inspired many of us to pick up a camera and pursue photography as an art, a passion, a profession.

Stocking Stuffers, part 2 - Christmas Memory

Perfect stocking stuffers for your favorite photographer or to add to your wish list.

Every digital photographer needs more memory. We highly recommend carrying several 2 to 4 GB cards, rather than one larger memory card. If something happens to that one large card, all your photos are lost. With photos on several cards, there’s less risk of losing memories to misplaced or damaged cards.

Many brands to choose from, but some of our favorite choices — available at local and online retailers (prices are approximate).
