  • Gazing-Imaging: Visual Rhetorical Criticism and Creation
    GAZING-IMAGING: VISUAL RHETORICAL CRITICISM AND CREATION, DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY, AND REPRODUCING WOMEN, A PREGNANT (TRANS)MAN, AND FAMILY by JAMIE LANDAU (Under the Direction of Celeste M. Condit) ABSTRACT This dissertation proposes a supplementary materialist theory of visual rhetoric and methodological perspective of visual rhetorical criticism and creation that I term “gazing-imaging.” I apply this theory and methodological perspective to case studies of the symbolic ideological, physical, and affective interaction between 20 women of various childbearing ages today and digital photography in general, and with four digital photographs in particular. Specifically, I rhetorically critique how the women interacted (and at times hesitated to interact) with digital photography in general in four main ways: they “captured” happy family moments and/or memories, 2) they “connected” family, 3) they “circulated” happy family digital photographs, and 4) they “changed” family digital photographs. I argue that the material reproduction of “happy family” is one major rhetorical force of gazing-imaging done by today’s women of childbearing age and digital photography. A second rhetorical force of gazing-imaging was the material reproduction and stealth subversion of “pregnant sirens” that occurred when the women interacted (and hesitated to interact) with a particular digital photograph by “cropping” and “censoring” (the skin of) (hetero)sexually- seductive and naked pregnant female models. A third rhetorical force of gazing- imaging was the comedic material reproduction and subversion of traditional male masculinity, along with the material reproduction of a “pregnant (trans)man” and “happy family” that occurred when the women interacted with two additional photographs. I close this dissertation with a rhetorical creation that recommends the reproduction of another “happy family” by “collage”-ing family digital photographs.

  • KODAK MILESTONES 1879 - Eastman Invented an Emulsion-Coating Machine Which Enabled Him to Mass- Produce Photographic Dry Plates
    KODAK MILESTONES 1879 - Eastman invented an emulsion-coating machine which enabled him to mass- produce photographic dry plates. 1880 - Eastman began commercial production of dry plates in a rented loft of a building in Rochester, N.Y. 1881 - In January, Eastman and Henry A. Strong (a family friend and buggy-whip manufacturer) formed a partnership known as the Eastman Dry Plate Company. ♦ In September, Eastman quit his job as a bank clerk to devote his full time to the business. 1883 - The Eastman Dry Plate Company completed transfer of operations to a four- story building at what is now 343 State Street, Rochester, NY, the company's worldwide headquarters. 1884 - The business was changed from a partnership to a $200,000 corporation with 14 shareowners when the Eastman Dry Plate and Film Company was formed. ♦ EASTMAN Negative Paper was introduced. ♦ Eastman and William H. Walker, an associate, invented a roll holder for negative papers. 1885 - EASTMAN American Film was introduced - the first transparent photographic "film" as we know it today. ♦ The company opened a wholesale office in London, England. 1886 - George Eastman became one of the first American industrialists to employ a full- time research scientist to aid in the commercialization of a flexible, transparent film base. 1888 - The name "Kodak" was born and the KODAK camera was placed on the market, with the slogan, "You press the button - we do the rest." This was the birth of snapshot photography, as millions of amateur picture-takers know it today. 1889 - The first commercial transparent roll film, perfected by Eastman and his research chemist, was put on the market.

But before you set out to film winter subjects here are a few precautions that may help you. "ON LOCATION" FOR The use of filters for general pictorial work is strongly recommended. Yellow filters OUTDOOR WINTER cut down on the blue light which is so overwhelmingly predominant in winter, particu- larly when the ground is covered with snow, and permit the more even registration of MOVIES all color tones in black and white. Filters accentuate cloud effects by reproducing sky and How to make the most o f your out- clouds more nearly as the eye sees them- gray sky and white clouds. Filters also enable door filming opportunities. your camera's lens to penetrate the haze so often encountered in winter landscapes.

Due to the nature of this craft there is basic technical understanding needed of the tools that Directors of photography use to control light. Before dissecting the technological developments that allowed and limited aesthetic choices, there must be a basic understanding of how this technology worked. Cinematography is essentially the control and manipulation of how light reacts chemically with the emulsion of the film stock.
