I chose American photography in the nineteenth century as the subject of my research project. Photography is something I'm interested in and will be willing to learn about for the duration of the project. Looking at how photography has changed over time, different techniques etc. The use of photography has changed the way that we think of people in the past, if we have a picture of them verses imagining them from a description. Photography has evolved and has improved over time. The cameras themselves have changed hugely over the years. The actual method of developing the photograph has evolved, the quality of the photograph has improved, and over we now have more methods to choose from while taking our pictures. An example of this is black and white verses color. I am very interested in finding out so much more about this topic and I haven't quite decided on a specific subject within the broad topic of photography. I have been interested in photography ever since i got my first camera at a young age and have taken classes ever since to learn more about it. I am currently in the Photography II class through the school and a part of the National Art Honor Society Club. There is a lot to choose from under my topic for my research paper and I'm eager to learn as much as possible. When it comes down to it, narrowing my decision down to one specific subject will be a hard decision.
