Lecture at the Getty - Carleton Watkins

Carleton Watkins and the Element of Time.
Weston Naef, senior curator, Department of Photographs, the J. Paul Getty Museum, traces how Watkins made time itself an element of content in his photographs. Focusing on select photographs, this talk illuminates how Watkins influenced Eadweard Muybridge by laying the groundwork for Muybridge's motion studies through his own multiple views of one subject or location.
