Join us on to hear noted local photographer Herb Ascherman Jr., discuss the
legendary photography of Alfred Stieglitz, focusing on his years as the
publisher of Camera Work. This quarterly journal featured examples of leading
innovators of photography and helped to establish photography as a fine art.

Mr. Ascherman who has published three books of portraiture, written dozens of
articles and essays for national media, and been seen on television and heard on
National Public Radio has a 2000+ volume library of photography books which
serve as a resource and inspiration for his literary and photographic endeavors.

In conjunction with Mr. Ascherman's lecture, during the month of July, the
Special Collections Department will be displaying winning photographs from the
2009 Ohio Cemetery Alliance Photograph Contest for which Mr. Ascherman served as
judge. The display will include winning photographs that includes pictures of
people, monuments, and landscapes from cemeteries all over Cuyahoga County as
well as Johnson's Island, Cincinnati, Marietta, and many others.
