It's National Photography Month at the Archives!
At the Archives we get to see hundreds and hundreds (technically ~3 million if we wanted) images and photographs. We sometimes lose focus (ahh, get it) of all the amazing people behind the lens. In honor of May being National Photography Month, let’s look at the people who have made some of our amazing photographs.
So let's enjoy pictures of photographers taking pictures!
