The moment I saw Gustav Le Gray's prints in the History of 20th Century Photography course with Professor Facos, I was floored. I had an incredible emotional response. The prints were beautiful. I remember the conversations we had about the controversy surrounding his processes. It was invigorating to see the work that started "manipulated" photography, and I feel grateful to have learned about his work.
