The First Hundred Years of Photography

A homebody at heart, I think my days of traipsing the streets of any big city are pretty much over.  And the thought of being concrete bound in the middle of summer is pretty repellent.
But.....

If I were inclined to have an urban adventure in July or August, this is where I'd be:

"Framing a Century: Master Photographers, 1840–1940," an exhibition on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art through September 1, tells the story of photography's first 100 years through the work of 13 key figures who helped shape the aesthetic and expressive course of the medium — Gustave Le Gray, Carleton Watkins, Roger Fenton, William Henry Fox Talbot, Julia Margaret Cameron, Nadar, Edouard Baldus, Walker Evans, Charles Marville, Eugène Atget, Man Ray, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Brassaï. The exhibition presents 10 to 12 iconic works by each of these influential artists to convey a broad sense of their contributions to photography.
