In this presentation Peter Potter will share some of John Ruskin's Daguerreotypes of Venice and investigate his embrace of the new technology.  

He will also discuss the evolution of photography as a hobby, a craft, and an art form.  Peter Potter will explore the unexpected nexus between the Roycroft Shops and the fledgling photographic art, and the further development of an influential school of nascent fine-art photography.

Join us Thursday, January 14 at 5:00pm PST.  A Q&A will follow the presentation.
