Marriott C. Morris is not unlike your shutter happy friends who frequently capture you mid bite or with a mouth full of food, but we love him for it.
Morris, Marriott Canby, 1863-1948, photographer. [Portrait of a seated man], canoeing, Egg Harbor River, NJ. October 12-14, 1907. 1 photograph: film negative; 3 x 4 in.
The Northeast in January 2018... or, more accurately, Victoria Glacier (ca. 1921).
Morris, Marriott Canby, 1863-1948, photographer. Victoria Glacier, [Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada] [graphic]. July 21, 1921. 1 photograph: gelatin silver print; 3.5 x 5.5 in.
On this day in 1886, Marriott C. Morris made a copy photograph of a cabinet card showing his younger brother, Samuel Buckley Morris III, in 1885. This copy photograph is particularly special because it was taken the same year of Samuel’s death, only a year later, when Samuel was eighteen years old. Marriott could have wanted another way to preserve this keepsake.

Philadelphia has been experiencing some true Spring weather and it beckons us outdoors to take in the sunshine and blooms after a shower. The two ladies pictured here by Marriott C. Morris know what we are talking about as they sit on a fence in Bartram’s Gardens in April 1888.
Morris, Marriott Canby, 1863-1948, photographer. "Life on the Rail" Minnie Lysan Shoemaker & Minne Kinter on fence at Bartram's Gardens. April 28, 1888. 1 photograph: gelatin silver print; 4 x 5 in.
One of the most interesting aspects of traditional photography is the process. For professionals and serious hobbyists, note-taking about photo shoots was big part of that process. Photographers recorded location, exposures, and general information about a scene or a roll of film. Sometimes we find insight to the experience of taking the shot. Now with digital cameras much of this information is automated as embedded metadata in the digital file, losing some of its nostalgic qualities.
Marriott C. Morris kept journals about his photography, which greatly aided our research for cataloging the collection. Above is the recto and verso of one of his lantern slides labelled with the date, subject and location of the image.

It’s #Feathursday, and the Morris boys holding fluffy chicks are ramping up the cute factor at the Morris beach house in Sea Girt, New Jersey.

A Morris family #TintypeTuesday. There is something about this image. The woman holding the hat and the man's casual stance is a little more every day than the posed portraits we are used to seeing in tintypes and other early photographs. Although they seem from another world entirely, they are approachable.
