| View Full Version : Carleton Watkins ongarine 09-14-2004, 04:43 PM Your opinion about one of the most interesting pioneer in photography. Not so much cited by ULF photographers, why? He was without doubt one of the father of US photography. Tom Hoskinson 09-14-2004, 05:57 PM I posted about Carleton Watkins on the old APUG site after visiting the exhibit at the Getty. He was a very talented photographer who produced truly incredible landscapes! He routinely hauled 1 - 2000 pound wet plate ULF photography kits into the back country during the second half of the 19th century. David A. Goldfarb 09-14-2004, 06:12 PM I've posted about Watkins, I think over on the LF forum after seeing the Watkins exhibit at the Met in New York. Indeed impressive for hauling around those big glass plates, and also for establishing a photographic tradition with others like O'Sullivan that would lay the groundwork for Adams in the 20th Century. ongarine 09-15-2004, 08:42 AM Dear Tom and David, I'm unable to find your previous posts about C. Watkins. Could you be so gentle to give me the indications to find them. Many thanks Daniele David A.

Here are a whole series of threads on the LF forum that mention Watkins-- http://www.google.com/custom?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&cof=AWFID%3A75c20012d5d4e09b%3BAH%3Acenter%3B&domains=largeformatphotography.info&q=watkins+carleton&sitesearch=largeformatphotography.info You could google them as easily as I could. |
