Toronto. Thanks to our president, Clint Hryhorijiw, who sent me an email he received from Cynthia Motzenbecker the other day. The email from Cynthia notes that thanks to the efforts of US Senator Charles Schumer , the George Eastman (House) Museum is to receive a $500,000 grant from the US National Parks Service to help in preserving this historic mansion.
Any one remotely interested in photography must visit the GEH Museum at least once. The house was built for George Eastman as his home back in the days when such houses were built close to the factories the householder owned and/or operated.
In the fall of 1982, the Photographic Historical Society (Rochester) held its PhotoHistory V symposium and trade show at the GEH where I had the pleasure of meeting Helmut Gernsheim whose thick ‘History of Photography” gave me my first understanding of the history of this art.
