The Moment of Seeing
Founded by Ansel Adams, directed by Minor White, and staffed by such luminaries as Imogen Cunningham, Dorothea Lange, Lisette Model, and Edward Weston, the first fine-art photography department in the United States was created in 1946 at the California School of Fine Arts (now known as the San Francisco Art Institute). Under White's leadership and against a backdrop of revolutions in photography as an art form, this dynamic faculty developed the modern photography curriculum, bringing a new academic pedigree to the medium and establishing the future of photography education. The Moment of Seeing is much more than a history of the program and those who comprised it. Including White's never-before-published writings on the teaching of photography, it is also a rich gallery of iconic images by both renowned faculty members and the dedicated students they taught.

Stephanie Comer is a freelance photo researcher. 

Deborah Klochko is an educator, author, and curator and co-author of Create and Be Recognized. She lives in Oakland, California.

Jeff Gunderson has been librarian and archivist at the San Francisco Art Institute since 1981. He lives in Greenbrae, California.
