Josiah Johnson Hawes. Josiah Johnson Hawes (ca.1845–1850) Josiah Johnson Hawes (* 20. Februar 1808 in East Sudbury (heute Wayland), Massachusetts, USA; † 7. August 1901 in Crawford Notch, New Hampshire, USA) war ein US-amerikanischer Fotopionier. Er und sein Partner Albert Sands Southworth gelten als die bedeutendsten amerikanischen Porträtfotografen des 19. Jahrhunderts.[1] Leben[Bearbeiten] Josiah Hawes war Porträtmaler, bevor er das Daguerreotypie-Verfahren bei François Fauvel Gouraud erlernte, einem Schüler Louis Daguerres, der 1840 in Boston eine Vortragsreihe hielt.[2] 1843 gründete Hawes mit Albert Sands Southworth (1811–1894) ein Fotostudio. 1849 heiratete er Nancy Stiles Southworth, die Schwester seines Partners, mit der er drei Kinder hatte: Alice, Marion und Edward.

Albert Sands Southworth (ca.1845–1850) Leben[Bearbeiten] Albert Southworth (um 1848) Von 1849 bis 1851 ging Southworth vom Goldrausch angezogen nach Kalifornien. 1863 trennte er sich nach zwanzig Jahren von seinem Partner Josiah J. Hawes. Er arbeitete weiterhin als Fotograf und beschäftigte sich mit Graphologie. Southworth & Hawes[Bearbeiten] Southworth und Hawes betrieben die Daguerreotypie als Kunstform; ein Anspruch, der sowohl in den Aufnahmen als auch in der Preisgestaltung seinen Ausdruck fand.[3] [4] Koloriert wurden die Daguerrotypien von Hawes und seiner Frau Nancy.
Southworth und Hawes sahen in der Stereoskopie den Beginn einer neuen Ära in der Fotografie und entwickelten in der Folge das Grand Parlor and Gallery Stereoskop. Eine der bekanntesten Aufnahmen von Southworth & Hawes zeigt die nachgestellte Szene der ersten öffentliche Operation, bei der ein Patient mit Äther narkotisiert wurde – die Geburtsstunde der modernen Anästhesie.

Photo of asylum patient, circa 1850-58 Hugh Welch Diamond (1809 – June 21, 1886) was an early British psychiatrist and photographer who made a major contribution to the craft of psychiatric photography. Early life[edit] Work[edit] Diamond was fascinated by the possible use of photography in the treatment of mental disorders; some of his many calotypes depicting the expressions of people suffering from mental disorders are particularly moving.
These were used not only for record purposes, but also, he claimed in the treatment of patients - although there was little evidence of success. Perhaps it is for his attempts to popularize photography and to lessen its mystique that Diamond is best remembered. Recognition for his encouragement and for his willingness to share his knowledge came in 1855, in the form of a testimonial amounting to £300 for services to photography; among those who subscribed were such people as Delamotte, Fenton and George Shadbolt. References[edit] Joel-Peter Witkin. Joel-Peter Witkin (born September 13, 1939) is an American photographer who lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
His work often deals with such themes as death, corpses (and sometimes dismembered portions thereof), and various outsiders such as dwarves, transsexuals, hermaphrodites, and physically deformed people. Witkin's complex tableaux often recall religious episodes or classical paintings.[1] Biography[edit] Influences and themes[edit] Witkin claims that his vision and sensibility spring from an episode he witnessed as a young child, an automobile accident in front of his house in which a little girl was decapitated.
He says his family's difficulties also influenced his work. Those of Witkin's works which use corpses have had to be created in Mexico in order to get around restrictive US laws.

Otto Ludwig Preminger (5 December 1905 – 23 April 1986) was an Austrian American theatre and film director. Early life[edit] My father believed that it was impossible to be too kind or too loving to a child. He never punished me. When there were problems he sat down and discussed them with me reasonably, as though I was an adult.
After the assassination in 1914 of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the throne, which led to the Great War, Russia entered the war on the Serbian side. After a year in Graz, the decisive public prosecutor was summoned to Vienna, where he was offered an eminent position, roughly equivalent to that of the United States Attorney General. Career[edit] Theater[edit] As the war came to an end, Markus formed his own law practice. Preminger explained to his father that a career in theater was not just a ploy to excuse himself from school.
Hollywood[edit] Sam Spiegel accompanied Preminger from Vienna to Paris by train. Laura[edit] Mvg - Michael von Graffenried.
