Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pictorial Landscape Photography As we look back to the year 1905 in the history of pictorial photography in America, it seems very near the beginning. Independent workers here and there had created sensations with their work. Some salons had been held and the Photo Secession had made its name known both here and in England. On the whole, though, outside of limited circles, very little encouragement could be found in photographic clubs and magazines for those who attempted to put anything in their pictures except what could be obtained by the mechanical use of a lens. Even before this time, however, a number of photographic workers who were affiliated with the Buffalo Camera Club felt an urge in the direction of self-expression and, while still retaining membership in the club, decided to form a little group devoted to more intensive work. Their feeling was that in this way some of the objectionable features of formal society meetings could be eliminated and their time given rather to the study of picture making than to parliamentary proceedings. This group determined to do without any mechanism in the way of organization, rules, or constitution and their sole business function was an occasional voluntary whip-around for such amounts as were absolutely necessary to defray the slight expenses of the meetings. This method of procedure was adhered to as long as the society existed and the single officer originally appointed, a secretary, acted permanently in this position.
