On 13 July Maryland Public Television broadcast “Capturing America: The Carol Highsmith Story” about a remarkable photographer still active. The program was well worth a viewing by anyone interested in photography or in the day-to-day life of the United States. It was a welcome antidote to the travesty which was the official 250th anniversary celebration of the Declaration of Independence. The program is likely to be repeated on other Public Television stations in the near future, and it is recommended to anyone with an interest in photography and life in the United States.
Highsmith worked for decades, often with only a pittance of a budget, documenting landscapes, people and activities across the United States. She gave her collection to the Library of Congress where her work is available royalty free from the Library of Congress website in easily downloadable .jpeg and .tiff files. The archive is a remarkable one and well worth an on-line visit.
