NEW EPISODE: Episode 08 is all about Alfred Stieglitz’s “The Steerage.”   Many people think this is about immigrants being turned away at port, but that’s not actually the case.  In fact, there’s a lot about this photo you may not know about.  It’s even considered to be the photograph that ushered in modern photography.  Let’s take a look at what makes this image stand the test of time and how it’s still relevant even to this day.

This is the eighth episode in a series of episodes that’ll drop every Saturday throughout 2024.
