What is National Photography Month?
National Photography Month every May celebrates photography as art, communication, and memory. Officially recognized by the US Congress in 1987, the medium itself dates back to 1826 when Joseph Nicéphore Niépce captured the world's first permanent photograph. Use this month to take more photos, visit galleries, or learn a new technique.
