In many ways, photography defines how we see history. There are certain images that are

seared into our national collective memory that seem to encapsulate a major historical event,

maybe even an entire historical era. Dorothy Lang's famous photograph migrant mother

seems to capture the suffering that millions

experienced during the Great Depression.

Then there's Alfred Eisenstadt's famous image of a sailor kissing a total stranger in Times Square

to celebrate the end of World War II, a photo that captures the sheer joy across the world

after history's worst war.

Some of the most famous photos of history were planned, and many others were not.

They were fleeting moments of sheer whimsy captured, like catching lightning in a bottle.

Photos also define how we see historical figures, especially presidents. So much of how we see our presidents

comes from these images. For some presidents, the camera has been kind, conveying the exact image

they wanted to portray. For others, it's been a nuisance, even damaging their historical reputations.

In this episode, we will cover the history of presidents and their ongoing struggle with the camera.
