Photo-Analysis

 
3 positions involved
            That of the photographer – usually white American male
            That of the photographed – usually white American male
            That of the publisher – usually white American male
 
Photos used
            Newspapers (i.e. Chicago Daily News, Defender, NYT, …)
            Magazines (Fortune, Time)
            Private albums
            Postcards – usually graphic design, drawing, abstract
            Other
 
What is depicted?
            Usually buildings
            Anonymous groups
            VIPs
            Few exhibitors
            Some visitors using technology,
gazing at technology a.s.o.
 
Analysis (short theory) + applied to some photos
            Acc. To Trachtenberg
            Other methods
 
Problems
            Exclusion reigns this area as well
            Quality-Pictures hard to come by
            Maybe VIPs like Johnson will be found
            Analysis of negative space?
 
Conclusion
            Media representation must fail
            Photographs, as (neutral??) historical documents, mute the African American voice
