From 1855 until the end of the 1880s, Mathew Brady (like all photographers) used a four step process to make pictures. First, he prepared a glass plate with solutions of collodion and silver nitrate. While the plate was still wet, he placed it in the camera, exposed it, developed it, and washed it with water, making a negative. When the negative was dry, Brady placed it directly on a sheet of light-sensitive paper, exposed it to the sun. Finally the paper was developed, fixed, and washed, to produce a photograph. This animated demonstration will show you how Mathew Brady made his photographs.

Portrait of Black Chicago. From June through October 1973 and briefly during the spring of 1974, John H. White, a 28-year-old photographer with the Chicago Daily News, worked for the federal government photographing Chicago, especially the city‘s African American community. White took his photographs for the Environmental Protection Agency‘s (EPA) DOCUMERICA project. As White reflected recently, he saw his assignment as "an opportunity to capture a slice of life, to capture history." His photographs portray the difficult circumstances faced by many of Chicago‘s African American residents in the early 1970s, but they also catch the "spirit, love, zeal, pride, and hopes of the community."

Today, John White is a staff photographer with the Chicago Sun-Times. He has won hundreds of awards, and his work has been exhibited and published widely. In 1982 he received the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography.
