Eastman Museum Exhibition: 75 Years of Photography

Join photographer Keith Dotson for a walking tour of the major museum photo exhibition, “Life with Photographs: 75 Years of the Eastman Museum”

One of the perks of seeing a photography show in a major museum like the Eastman Museum, is that you can be present with work by some of history’s most legendary photographers. We saw photographs by innovators like Eugene Atget, August Sander, Carleton Watkins, and many more!

In the video, you can see many of these works, and hear my commentary as I observe these magnificent works.
