This new year-long lecture series created for Arizona Photography Alliance will explore the relationships between these two perspectives and build upon our shared interest in images.

In this first session, Dr. Rowe will start by deconstructing the collecting process, including a thumbnail overview of the history of collecting with an emphasis on early collectors and vernacular images; stories of some of the important collectors; and sources and “tips” on collecting. You’ll also see examples of the various historic formats and processes from Dr. Rowe’s extensive collection.
