Great to see that the Grant Romer presentation from last year’s Lecture Series is now online!

“Grant Romer, world-renowned photography authority and former Director of Conservation for the International Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, introduces recently evolved thinking about the daguerreotype in light of the dramatic changes in imaging and information technology over the last ten years.

Romer also examines the basics of daguerreotype connoisseurship through an overview of the history of the process and illustrations of the unique qualities of the daguerreotype.”

ACP 2008 Lecture Series presenter Danny Clinch has a new video documentary about Jay-Z.

Great to see that the Forum Network has posted this video, documenting the discussion about Harry Shearer’s “The Silent Echo Chamber” with Mr. Shearer, CNN’s Jim Clancy, The Contemporary’s Stuart Horodner, and ACP’s Michael David Murphy, with the introduction from ACP’s Executive Director, Amy Miller.

ACP 9 Lecture Series presenter (and creator of current exhibition at the High Museum) Alec Soth is up-and-blogging again with “Little Brown Mushroom” and this trio of videos furthers our last post about digital storytelling. Great stuff!
