On 17th October 1821 Alexander Gardner, renowned photographer of the American Civil War was born in Paisley.

Gardner became an apprentice jeweller at the age of 14, lasting seven years. He had a Church of Scotland upbringing and was influenced by the work of Robert Owen, Welsh socialist and father of the cooperative movement. By the time he reached adulthood he and his brother James had the idea to create a cooperative in the United States that would incorporate socialist values, they travelled to Iowa with this in mind in 1850, Alexander returned to Scotland to raise money for the project and purchased the Glasgow Sentinel, quickly turning it into the second largest newspaper in the city.

On his return to the United States in 1851, Gardner paid a visit to the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park, New York, where he saw the photographs of Mathew Brady for the first time. Shortly afterward, Gardner began reviewing exhibitions of photographs in the Glasgow Sentinel, as well as experimenting with photography on his own.

In 1856, Gardner decided to over permanently to America, eventually settling in New York. He soon found employment with Mathew Brady as a photographer. At first, Gardner specialized in making large photographic prints, called Imperial photographs, but as Brady’s eyesight began to fail, Gardner took on more and more responsibilities. In 1858, Brady put him in charge of the entire gallery.

Two years later, Gardner opened a portrait studio for Brady in Washington, D.C. It was so successful that it helped to support Brady’s more extravagant New York studio.

When the American Civil War erupted in 1861, Gardner assisted Brady in his effort to make a complete photographic record of the conflict. Brady, however, refused to give Gardner public credit for his work. Gardner therefore left Brady in 1863, opened a portrait gallery in Washington, and continued to photograph the hostilities on his own. His photographs President Lincoln on the Battlefield of Antietam as seen in the photos and other portraits of Lincoln are among the best-known photographs of the war period.

Gardner’s Photographic Sketch Book of the Civil War, a two-volume collection of 100 original prints, was published in 1866. When Brady petitioned Congress to buy his photographs of the war, Gardner presented a rival petition, claiming that it was he, not Brady, who had originated the idea of providing the nation with a photographic history of the conflict. Congress eventually bought both collections.

In 1867 Gardner became the official photographer for the Union Pacific Railroad. Primarily active in Kansas, he photographed the building of the railroad and the new settlements that grew up near it. He also compiled valuable photographic documentation of the Plains Indians of North America.

Returning to Washington, he gradually lost interest in photography and devoted the rest of his life to philanthropy.

In 1871, Gardner gave up photography entirely to start an insurance company. He lived in Washington until his death in 1882. Regarding his work he said, “It is designed to speak for itself. As mementos of the fearful struggle through which the country has just passed, it is confidently hoped that it will possess an enduring interest.”

The first pic is of Alexander Gardner, next is Ta-Tan-Kah-Sa-Pah (Black Bull) of the Brule-Sioux tribe, North Dakota, President Lincoln on Battle-Field of Antietam and Abraham Lincoln and his son Thomas, then Lewis Payne, one of the men involved in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and finally the Leavenworth, Lawrence, and Galveston Railroad Bridge across the Kaw River at Lawrence, Kansas, in 1867

Robert Fraser on Michael Cooper, from Blinds & Shutters

Just thought I'd transcribe the text! It reads:

I met Michael in 1964, through a model. He knew a lot of the Pop artists. Unlike most of the photographers around at that time, he wasn't just interested in doing fashion shows and being a big shot; and I so found him quite fascinating. He sort of attached himself to me. He was interested in painting; he'd been to art school, and he knew Allen Jones. We had very idealistic notions.

He conceived of his whole life as being one continuous photographic assignment. He was unlike anybody else--he wasn't intellectual but he understood that photography wasn't just a way of making a living. He had a sort of vision and I don't think he was quite able to act out that vision but he did make an attempt.

He found working for Vogue very boring and he was complaining about the unimaginativeness of the fashion world around the time that I was feeling the same about the art world. If a fashion editor rang him up and said she wanted him to photograph somebody and he was bored by the idea of doing it, he would refuse the work even though it would have made him £250 or so.

After an ongoing dialogue about the tedium of London and the Establishment, I said we should start a photographic studio together and he immediately jumped at the idea. So he found a studio and I put money into it--it wasn't that much in those days, a couple of thousand pounds or something.

Michael was the first 'pop' personality that I had met and he was very strong in showing me the direction that I should take in developing the gallery. He brought my attention to the fact that photography was an art. Like a lot of photographers, Michael had this feeling that his mission in life was to be a film-maker rather than a photographer, and he did have some great ideas--for example, A Clockwork Orange.

He had a very high opinion of himself. At every level he thought he was God's gift. Michael's collection is so good because he was always interested in personalities and he had a very good natural instinct for whom he wanted to photograph. He was the first person that I've actually met who walked around with a camera taking pictures of people the whole time in that world. At 3 a.m. he'd have a Nikon with him. Nobody did that in those days.

Copywriting Snippet: Magnum Photos

Magnum Photos is an international photography cooperative that was founded in Paris in 1947 by the photographers Robert Capa, David "Chim" Seymour, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger, William Vandivert, Rita Vandivert and Maria Eisner. The idea behind the agency was born out of the desire to gain control over the copyrights of their photographs. Today the cooperative has offices in New York, London, Tokyo and Paris. In this special collection you will find a selection of covers that were photographed and signed by Magnum photographers such as Elliott Erwitt, Martin Parr, Thomas Hoepker, Bruce Gilden and Bruno Barbey.

The Prestige (2006)

Revenge and obsession make for great storytelling topics, as The Prestige demonstrates. Based on the novel by Christopher Priest, director Christopher Nolan - who co-writes the screenplay with his brother Jonathan - unites a powerhouse cast to offer us a true mind-bender. This film's ending is so unexpected I've heard several people say that it couldn't possibly work the way it's presented here and instead propose all kinds of increasingly unhinged fan theories.

In 1890s London, magician Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) is selling out shows thanks to his amazing “The Real Transported Man” trick. His rival, Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman), is obsessed with discovering how it’s done and copying the act to get the top spot in their long-running feud. Years of spying, imitating, theft and sabotage have left them ready to kill each other.

Some twists in The Prestige you'll figure out a little ahead of time – though I think you’re supposed to, as the film is told partially in flashback -, others you decipher seconds before they’re revealed. Some are so wild you'd need superpowers to predict them. None of these surprises are cheap. They’re all focused on the characters, whose rivalry is so intense you can’t understand its severity without seeing the film. In every cinematic sleigh of hand, you learn something new about them. These new bits of information shock, excite, terrify and depress you all at once.

Like in Miloš Forman’s magnificent Amadeus, this is a story of men who should’ve been friends, who - had they chosen to cooperate - could’ve, through their talents, ushered us into a new age of wonder. Instead, their passions only fuel animosity. While Borden and Angier's obsession makes them fascinating. The ones you’re worried about are the side characters, the ones most likely to become collateral damage: Borden’s wife Sarah (Rebecca Hall), Angier’s assistant and confidante (who is up to her own tricks) Olivia (Scarlett Johansson) and Michael Caine as John Cutter, a stage engineer who suffers from the magician’s rivalry in more ways than one.

As it explores this bitter rivalry of stage magicians, The Prestige becomes downright diabolical. It's so sinister you feel wrong for seeing it play out but can't look away. There’s another level of enjoyment as well. When you see an actor like Hugh Jackman on-screen performing magic tricks, it's not like seeing a live act. You know there’s trick photography at work, probably some special effects added after the shooting was done, all sorts of things to make the impossible happen. Because the film centers around an "impossible" trick, this artifice becomes an asset. You’re removed from the action taking place. You know it's all some kind of sleight of hand… just as Angier does. You feel the way he feels and desperately want to know the truth behind it.

Once the picture concludes, The Prestige offers you much to discuss thematically. The meaning of secrets, competition & sacrifice, the way certain actions mean one thing at first and then another once we know the ending, and more. Every aspect, combined with the fabulous cast and the performances they give make for a sophisticated picture that demands to be seen more than once. (On Blu-ray, March 3, 2018)

On 17th October 1821 Alexander Gardner, renowned photographer of the American Civil War was born in Paisley.

Gardner became an apprentice jeweller at the age of 14, lasting seven years. He had a Church of Scotland upbringing and was influenced by the work of Robert Owen, Welsh socialist and father of the cooperative movement. By the time he reached adulthood he and his brother James had the idea to create a cooperative in the United States that would incorporate socialist values, they travelled to Iowa with this in mind in 1850, Alexander returned to Scotland to raise money for the project and purchased the Glasgow Sentinel, quickly turning it into the second largest newspaper in the city.

Alexander Gardner emigrated to the United States in 1856 and worked at the New York City studio of Mathew Brady, coming into contact with numerous politicians and military figures. After the outbreak of the Civil War, Brady photographed the conflicts, sending his team of photographers, including Gardner, into the field. Alexander Gardner left Brady’s studio in 1862 to open his own in Washington, D.C.; at this same time, he also became employed by General McClellan as official photographer of the Union Army’s U.S. Topographical Engineer Corps.

After the war, Gardner photographed many notables including President Lincoln, the Lincoln conspirators, and Indian delegations visiting Washington. In 1867, Gardner joined the survey team for what became the Kansas Pacific Railroad. The railroad was promoting plans for an extension of its route from Kansas to the Pacific Ocean. This proposed route, from Kansas through the mountains of Colorado and deserts of New Mexico, Arizona, and California, would serve to placate the Indians and provide access to the markets of the California. Gardner photographed the path of the proposed extension, emphasizing the ease of future railroad construction and the potential for economic development while including studies of the Indians in the region and settlements along the way. Gardner’s photographs represent the earliest systematic series of the Great Plains.

Gardner photographed many of the Sioux chiefs from the northern plains tribes including Crow, Arapaho, Oglala, Minneconjous, Brule and Cheyenne.  

In 1871, Gardner gave up photography entirely to start an insurance company. He lived in Washington until his death in 1882. Regarding his work he said, “It is designed to speak for itself. As mementos of the fearful struggle through which the country has just passed, it is confidently hoped that it will possess an enduring interest.”

Alexander Gardner became sick in the late autumn of 1882 and died shortly afterward on December 10th 1882.
