Edward Weston
Edward Henry Weston (March 24, 1886 – January 1, 1958) was a 20th-century American photographer. He has been called "one of the most innovative and influential American photographers..." and "one of the masters of 20th century photography." Over the course of his 40-year career Weston photographed an increasingly expansive set of subjects, including landscapes, still-lifes, nudes, portraits, genre scenes and even whimsical parodies. It is said that he developed a "quintessentially American, and especially Californian, approach to modern photography" because of his focus on the people and places of the American West. In 1937 Weston was the first photographer to receive a Guggenheim Fellowship, and over the next two years he produced nearly 1,400 negatives using his 8 × 10 view camera. Some of his most famous photographs were taken of the trees and rocks at Point Lobos, California, near where he lived for many years. Weston was born in Chicago and moved to California when h ...

Photographers From Colorado
A photographer (the Greek φῶς (''phos''), meaning "light", and γραφή (''graphê''), meaning "drawing, writing", together meaning "drawing with light") is a person who makes photographs. Duties and types of photographers As in other arts, the definitions of amateur and professional are not entirely categorical. An '' amateur photographer'' takes snapshots for pleasure to remember events, places or friends with no intention of selling the images to others. A ''professional photographer'' is likely to take photographs for a session and image purchase fee, by salary or through the display, resale or use of those photographs. A professional photographer may be an employee, for example of a newspaper, or may contract to cover a particular planned event such as a wedding or graduation, or to illustrate an advertisement. Others, like fine art photographers, are freelancers, first making an image and then licensing or making printed copies of it for sale or display. So ...

Aultman Studio
The Aultman Studio was a commercial photographic studio that operated from 1889-2000 in Trinidad, Colorado. It is considered to be one of the longest running photography studios in Colorado. History Oliver E. Aultman (1867-1953), a bank clerk and transplant from Missouri, began the Aultman Studio after repossessing the business from J.F. Cook. Aultman had initially granted Cook, a fellow newcomer to Trinidad, a $1500 loan to get a photography studio up and running. Instead of repaying Aultman, Cook defaulted on the loan and fled to Ohio. To recoup his losses, Aultman opened the studio himself in October 1889. Aultman taught himself photography and began to take customers. In 1892, Aultman bought out Dana B. Chase (1848-1897), a competitor who had been in business since the 1880s. Oliver set up his brother, Ira Everett Aultman (1873-1952), as the operator of Chase’s studio. He also purchased the studio of Daniel Desmond (1853-1940) that same year and installed his other brother, O ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Selenium
Selenium is a chemical element with the symbol Se and atomic number 34. It is a nonmetal (more rarely considered a metalloid) with properties that are intermediate between the elements above and below in the periodic table, sulfur and tellurium, and also has similarities to arsenic. It seldom occurs in its elemental state or as pure ore compounds in the Earth's crust. Selenium – from Greek ( 'Moon') – was discovered in 1817 by , who noted the similarity of the new element to the previously discovered tellurium (named for the Earth). Selenium is found in metal sulfide ores, where it partially replaces the sulfur. Commercially, selenium is produced as a byproduct in the refining of these ores, most often during production. Minerals that are pure selenide or selenate compounds are known but rare. The chief commercial uses for selenium today are glassmaking and pigments. Selenium is a semiconductor and is used in photocells. Applications in electronics, once important, h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
