Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library

Alice C. Sabatini Gallery 110AB

Explore the technological and artistic innovations in capturing images. The exhibit showcases a range of historical photographic methods from the earliest days of photography through Polaroid cameras.

Artwork in Through the Lens includes pieces from the library’s collection as well as borrowed works from the Beach Museum of Art and independent photographic artists such as Mary Dorsey-Wanless and Jim Richardson.

As cameras became more readily available, families and friends captured more of our world while artists used photography as a new dimension in their work. Utilizing pre-photoshop image manipulation and development techniques, artistic photographers created a new medium – fine art photography.

Technology has placed cameras at our fingertips. Today, we can take hundreds of photographs and share them instantly with our friends and family. Through the Lens invites visitors to explore photographic technology and methods of the past and to discover how to use cameras like a professional photographer.
