"Captured Time...Photographic
Moments of Discovery in the Northwest"
A traveling exhibit from Washington State History Museum It’s hard to imagine a world without photographs. Like magic, they capture the past and allow us to journey back in time. Captured Time: Photographic Moments of Discovery in the Northwest presents an intriguing selection of approximately 35 images drawn from the Society’s collection of over 500,000 pictures. Photographers include Edward and Asahel Curtis, Darius Kinsey, Marvin Boland, Virna Haffer, and others, both known and anonymous. These Northwest images examine themes such as A Sense of Place, Logging, Railroading, The Worker, On the Road, and the People’s Gallery. Rare moments from the late 1800s to the 1950s are captured showing scenes both familiar yet far removed from our lives today. Vintage cameras and photographs from the Gig Harbor Peninsula History Museum will be on display, ranging from a miniature camera to early Kodak models available for "amateur" photographers.
All exhibits are at
the Gig Harbor Peninsula Historical Museum, located at
4218 Harborview Drive. Open Tuesday through Saturday, |
