Shutterbugs should check out the new exhibit opening June 9th called Developing Greatness, even if they're not near The Nelson-Atkins Museum in Kansas City.
The exhibit, subtitled The Origins of American Photography, 1839-1885, features nearly 300 images from daguerreotypes to an 1839 self-portrait, images of the Civil War, to cities and landscapes. You can already see some of them on the museum's website, and they make for fascinating viewing.
All these works come from the Hallmark Photographic Collection, which the museum recently acquired. Great stuff, indeed.
