My only wish is that I would like to see the pictures your discussing with the class. I've seen podcasts change the "Cover Photo" during the show. And sometimes I can't hear the questions students are asking.

The courses and episodes in this series are an incredible resource for anyone interested in the evolution of photography. I love that the course weaves in other historical aspects of the times in which certain photographic techniques evolved. This is simply top notch and makes me feel like I should have paid top dollar for it.

I love this podcast. The host’s quiet passion always comes through, whether he’s talking about a street photographer or the early advent of a camera (the Brownie) marketed to kids. I always learn something new! I’m hooked.

This is absolutely the best podcast for learning photography’s history. Brilliant photographer and educator Jeff Curto gives you nothing less than a college level course worth of lectures on photography and its place in history. His years of experience and warm demeanor means that he knows how to keep it interesting and fun.

Just found this podcast while looking for someone to listen to while doing some boring paperwork. Very interesting, only wish the episode were a tad longer. Still a great way for a photography student to pass some time.

What a wonderful way to learn about the history of photography! As a busy professional photographer this podcast is priceless. It's like going to Pratt for free!

I am thoroughly enjoying the podcast and really appreciate all the time Curto takes to share his wealth of knowledge! Highly recommend.

I adore this podcast. I've been listening for three years now and it's always fresh and interesting. I love the video format Jeff uses now.

Interesting and informative and I do recommend it. But I have to mention that it is best to take it in small bites. If you listen too often some of Jeff’s speaking habits begin to, well, annoy. He suffers from a variation of Valley Girl speak we sometimes hear from older, well-educated and otherwise very articulate people. He can’t help but litter his talk with endless “sort ofs” and “kind ofs”. Serving as all purpose adjectives and adverbs, their usage makes him sound equivocating and afraid to go on record with even the most straightforward statement or description. He describes one part of a scene as “sort of the sweep of the shoreline.” An artist has “sort of a penchant” because he “kind of felt like.” Add in some “I means” and a few “you knows” and it kind of sort of like becomes distracting. And finally it is totally uncool for a 60 year old guy to feel he has to use “totally” and “cool” when responding to his students. I know it’s free, so I must be a fastidious curmudgeon, but the folks in the class are paying for it. So, Jeff, take a stand and let us know what you think, say it unequivocally!

Professor Curto brings the history of photography to life. Kudos!!!
