El 12 de Mayo es el cumple de
Larry McNeil (Larry Tee Harbor Jackson McNeil) es un fotógrafo y grabador estadounidense nativo nacido en 1955 en Juneau, Alaska.
Sus fotografías se basan en temas y formatos desde retratos realistas a ancianos de las tribus, desde paisajes urbanos abstractos a manipulaciones electrónicas de entornos tribales. Sus imágenes son considerados personalmente significativas, ya que son representativos de las realidades tribales y ponen de relieve la sensibilidad detrás de la representación de los nativos americanos.
Se crió en Juneau y Anchorage, Alaska. Esto lo hace un miembro de las dos tribus Tlingit y Nisga'a. Recibió su educación en la Escuela de Arte Fotográfico y Ciencia del Instituto Brooks, en Santa Bárbara, California.
Larry McNeil describe a sí mismo como un producto tanto de la cultura tradicional tlingit como de la corriente principal de América del Norte, con un énfasis en el aspecto Tlingit. En 1983 trabajó con la Fundación Nativa de Alaska y produjo las mujeres esquimales Yupik tejiendo sus característicos canastos. Más tarde, en 1986, creó diecisiete retratos de líderes de los clanes tribales en el distrito escolar ártico del noroeste. En el mismo año, fue nombrado vicepresidente de la Asociación de fotógrafos nativos inuit. También fue instructor en el Instituto de Artes del Indio Americano, así como un fotógrafo comercial.
Actualmente es profesor asociado de fotografía en la Universidad Estatal de Boise.

“I can easily imagine a kind of inferred sunrise where the landscape is still shrouded in darkness, yet there is a hint of light on the horizon.”
El 13 de Mayo es el cumple de
Peter Henry Emerson, escritor y fotógrafo británico nacido en 1856 en La Palma Estate, una plantación de azúcar cerca de Encrucijada, Cuba, perteneciente a su padre y madre. Sus fotografías son ejemplos tempranos de la fotografía como una forma de arte. Es captar imágenes que muestran escenarios naturales y por sus disputas con el establishment fotográfico sobre el propósito y el significado de la fotografía.
Pasó sus primeros años en Cuba en la finca de su padre. Durante la guerra civil estadounidense pasó algún tiempo en Wilmington, Delaware, pero se trasladó a Inglaterra en 1869, después de la muerte de su padre.
"Preparando la red / Setting the Bow-Net", impresión de platino / platinum print, 28,6 x 16,2 cm., 1886.
Museum of Fine Arts (Houston, Texas, EE.UU. / USA)
Compró su primera cámara en 1881 o 1882 para utilizarla como una herramienta en viajes de observación de aves con su amigo, el ornitólogo A. T. Evans. En 1885 se vio involucrado en la formación del club de la cámara de Londres, y al año siguiente fue elegido para el Consejo de la Sociedad Fotográfica. Abandonó su carrera como cirujano para convertirse en un fotógrafo y escritor. Al igual que le atraía la naturaleza, también estaba interesado en el billar, el remo y la meteorología.
Inicialmente influenciado por la pintura francesa naturalista, abogó de manera similar por la fotografía "naturalista" y tomó fotografías en un enfoque nítido para registrar la vida del campo lo más claramente posible. Su primer álbum de fotografías, publicado en 1886, se tituló Vida y paisaje en Norfolk Broads, y consistió en 40 impresiones en platino creadas en base a estas ideas.
Murió en 1936.

El 14 de Mayo es el cumple de
Henry Buehman, fotógrafo y político estadounidense nacido en Bremen, Alemania, en 1851.
Después de completar su aprendizaje, Buehman viajó al Oeste americano, donde trabajó y viajó antes de establecerse en Tucson, Arizona. Allí compró un estudio de retratos y operó un negocio de fotografía de éxito financiero. Sus viajes periódicos a través de las áreas circundantes permitieron a Buehman compilar una gran cantidad de imágenes de escenarios y nativos estadounidenses, además de su trabajo del retrato. Sus logros como fotógrafo le generaron oportunidades en otros campos, y finalmente se convirtió en el alcalde de Tucson desde 1895 hasta 1899.

La fotografía de retratos era la fuente primaria de ingresos de Buehman. Las cartas de visita eran populares y su clientela regresaba a su estudio para retratos actualizados a medida que los estilos cambiaban, prefiriendo cosas tales como poses completas o de tres cuartos, o tarjetas de gabinete en lugar de imágenes de mano más pequeñas. Cuando las tarjetas estereográficas se hicieron populares en el oeste estadounidense, Buehman fue uno de los primeros fotógrafos en producirlas. Buehman rara vez era un líder de nuevas modas, pero su maestría técnica lo convirtió en el fotógrafo preferido en el sur de Arizona. Sus ofertas diversificadas, su disposición a adaptarse a los gustos cambiantes y su habilidad para hacer que sus modelos posaran de un modo eficaz dieron a Buehman una base leal de clientes. Esto le dio la oportunidad de fotografiar una variedad de residentes territoriales prominentes, incluyendo el Gobernador John C Fremont, el agente indio John Clum, el general Nelson A. Miles y el ranchero Henry Hooker.
Sus modelos no se limitaban a los vivos; los residentes del área de Tucson decían que "incluso los muertos posaban para Buehman". A veces los sujetos de la fotografía post-mortem de Buehman eran proscritos bien conocidos, pero más a menudo una familia afligida lo contrataba para tener algo duradero que les recordara a un niño perdido.
Murió en 1912.
Hoy, 15 de Mayo, es el cumple de

Larry McNeil (Larry Tee Harbor Jackson McNeil) is a Native American photographer and printmaker born in 1955 in Juneau, Alaska.
His photographs range on subjects and formats from realist portraits to tribal elders, from abstract cityscapes to electronic manipulations of tribal environments. His images are considered personally meaningful as they are representative of tribal realities and highlight the sensitivity behind the representation of Native Americans.
He was raised in both Juneau and Anchorage, Alaska. This made him a member of both the Tlingit and Nisga'a tribes. He received his education from Brooks Institute School of Photographic Art and Science in Santa Barbara, California.
Larry McNeil describes himself as a product of both the traditional Tlingit culture and mainstream North America, with an emphasis on the Tlingit aspect. In 1983, he worked with Alaska Native Foundation and produced Yupik Eskimo women weaving distinctive grass baskets. Later in 1986, He created seventeen portraits of tribal clan leaders in Northwest Arctic School District. In the same year, he was nominated as vice-president of Native Indian Inuit Photographers Association; he was also an instructor in Institute of American Indian Arts as well as a commercial photographer.
He is currently an associate professor of photography at Boise State University.
On May 13 is the birthday of
Peter Henry Emerson, British writer and photographer born in 1856 on La Palma Estate, a sugar plantation near Encrucijada, Cuba, belonging to his father and mother. His photographs are early examples of promoting photography as an art form. He is known for taking photographs that displayed natural settings and for his disputes with the photographic establishment about the purpose and meaning of photography.
He spent his early years in Cuba on his father's estate. During the American Civil War he spent some time at Wilmington, Delaware, but moved to England in 1869, after the death of his father.
He bought his first camera in 1881 or 1882 to be used as a tool on bird-watching trips with his friend, the ornithologist A. T. Evans. In 1885 he was involved in the formation of the Camera Club of London, and the following year he was elected to the Council of the Photographic Society and abandoned his career as a surgeon to become a photographer and writer. As well as his particular attraction to nature he was also interested in billiards, rowing and meteorology.
Initially influenced by naturalistic French painting, he argued for similarly "naturalistic" photography and took photographs in sharp focus to record country life as clearly as possible. His first album of photographs, published in 1886, was entitled Life and Landscape on the Norfolk Broads, and it consisted of 40 platinum prints that were informed by these ideas.
He died in 1936.
On May 14 is the birthday of
Henry Buehman, American photographer and politician born in Bremen, Germany, in 1851.
After completing his apprenticeship, Buehman traveled to the American West, where he worked and traveled before settling in Tucson, Arizona Territory. There he purchased a portrait studio and operated a financially successful photography business. Periodic trips through the surrounding areas allowed Buehman to compile a large portfolio of scenic and Native American images in addition to his portrait work. His accomplishments as a photographer led to opportunities in other fields and Buehman eventually became the mayor of Tucson from 1895 till 1899.
Portrait photography was Buehman's primary source of income. Cartes de visite were popular and his clientele would return to his studio for updated portraits as styles changed to prefer things such as full length or three-quarters poses or cabinet cards instead of smaller hand-held images. When stereographic cards became popular in the American West, Buehman was among the first photographers to produce them. Buehman was rarely a leader of new fashions, but his technical mastery made him the preferred photographer in southern Arizona. His diversified offerings, willingness to adapt to changing tastes, and ability to effectively pose his subjects gained Buehman a loyal base of clients. This gave him opportunities to photograph a variety of prominent territorial residents including Governor John C Fremont, Indian Agent John Clum, General Nelson A. Miles, and rancher Henry Hooker. His subjects were not limited to the living, with Tucson area residents claiming "even the dead sit for Buehman". Sometimes the subjects of Buehman's post-mortem photography were well-known outlaws, but more often a grieving family would hire him to make a lasting keepsake to remind them of a lost child.
He died in 1912.
