History

So we've been studying the history of photography and for each lecture we look at a whole bunch of photographs, and one of them looked pretty familiar. Forgive the amateur framing and the 138 year difference between the two, but check this out:
Self Portrait, Panama, 1870 [by Timothy O'Sullivan]

Kuna Girl, Isle de Carti, Panama, 2008 [by me]

I'm so into this history of photography section. I think that I'd really like to keep studying this. I've been thinking a lot about applying to grad school lately. So far its just a thought.
