Learn Photography from the Experts…

Photography Handbook 1955 and Universal Photo Almanac 1940 and 1941

It’s 1940 and you want to be a photographer… You could learn from the experts at the New York Institute of Photography, 10 West 33 St., NYC, (established in 1910!)… If you want to “Make good money for work that’s fun!” you could write to Universal Photographers, also, coincidentally, located at 10 West 33 St., NYC… If you don’t want to wait 60 years for the ubiquity of MFA programs you could “take the first step towards combining your photographic ability with that most enjoyable and profitable occupation – writing for publication!” Perhaps the Newspaper Institute of America can help get you started… “Hundreds of photographers have found that pictures sell faster, bring more money, when stories or articles are written around them! WHY DON’T YOU WRITE? It’s simpler than you think! You don’t have to be a genius!” Photo Almanac 1940 and 1941
