Give a brief description of the movement, photographer, or term you researched. How are they significant to the history of photography (50-75 words)?
Frank Jay Haynes known as F. Jay or the Professor, to almost all that knew him. He was a professional photographer, publisher and entrepreneur from Minnesota who played a major role in documenting through photographs, the settlement and early history of the great Northwest. He became both the official photographer of the Northern Pacific Railway and of Yellowstone National Park as well as operating early transportation concessions in the park. His photographs were widely published in articles, journals, and books and turned into stereographs and postcards in the late 19th and early 20th century.

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)?
What's interesting about his work is that he captures the beauty of Yellowstone Park. The thing I like about him is that he got to travel and do the thing he likes to do, taking pictures. The detail in the picture and the sharpness of the photograph is unbelievable awesome. The picture itself is amazing and beautiful.
