Clarence is an American photographer, he was born on April 8, 1871. He started off as a painter until his teen years and that's when he started to photograph. Clarence is significant to the history of photography because he founded the Clarence H. White School for Photography. Clarence also became a teacher and taught photography at Columbia University.


Write a short personal reaction to the movement, photographer or term you researched. What is interesting or not interesting about the work (50 – 75 words).
I liked how Clarence quit his accounting job, so he can do what he loved and that was photography. The picture I choose was three little girls playing ring toss and I think this picture is interesting because it shows what kids did for fun back in the 1800s. The picture also shows what kids wore back in those days to.
