Lewis Hine, a pioneering photojournalist once said "If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera." So much of our view of the last 100-plus years is shaped by photography, especially images created by photojournalists and social documentary photographers. Sometimes a single image can say more than the most talented writer. From Jacob Riis, Robert Capa, W. Eugene Smith, and many others, we will explore the cultural, economic, social, and technological forces that have produced some of the most important and influential images in the history of photography. As in my previous Osher classes, we will look at many images and keep the technical aspects of photography to a minimum. I hope you can join me in exploring the fascinating world of photojournalism.
