This is a ZOOM history talk (NOT a Cemetery walking tour).
Note: If you are also a member of the St Louis Historic Sites group, we do a walking tour of this event (we went in 2025 and will go again in 2032).
"As photography went from an art form only done in a studio to a hobby performed by everyone, St. Louis photographers could be found at the cutting edge of this transition. Several photographers are memorialized here at Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum and will be featured in this online presentation, from Thomas Easterly, to the Parrish Sisters, Fitz Guerin and many others who made their mark in this new media.
Photography has transitioned with the times. Initially a rare and always artistic media, photography will emerge as a means for all to record the passage of time. Explore those St. Louis photographers that capture people, places, and things so that we can “see” what they saw in their time.
Watch from the comfort of your home or wherever you may be!" from https://bellefontainecemetery.org/event/photographers-zoom-060326/
