In The Library: The Art of The American Snapshot.
National Gallery of Art held this exhibition last year, of approximately 200 snapshot photographs chronicling the evolution of snapshot photography from 1888, when George Eastman first introduced the Kodak camera and roll film, through the 1970s. My dear friend Eszter gave me the beautiful book, The Art of The American Snapshot, as a Christmas gift. She knows me so well - I love it! I think you will too. Here's some snaps that just amused me to no end. I gave them my own captions, just for fun.
