We just launched a new podcast in our museum series about our photography collection and exhibitions here at SAAM. The American landscape has always been a rich subject for photography. Our photography curator, Toby Jurovics, talks about the work of two of his favorite landscape photographers in  SAAM's collections, Lee Friedlander and William Christenberry.

In addition Jurovics discusses the "deadpan" dog photographs of William Wegman while conservator Kate Maynor talks about how the museum protects photographs while on exhibition. And finally we take a look at a recent installation here called We the People.
