Camera clubs on a global scale were getting together and trying to see where photography could go, what is could be perceived as and what it could be. Getting accepted in the fine art world was one of the goals of the photographers. It's not just a scientific gimmick. It's art.
Sander was the generation after that.
Pictorialism extends into the 1940s, and stylistic elements can be seen in Sander's work.
In 1911 A Sander published his first book. is not a
The coner Progressive were all about New Objectivity. They were radicals. In the 20s,..he shot the working class. two blind kids, a beggar, workers, baker, brick laers..those subjects were not the trend of the day. HE said look at this, this is what is beautiful.

Robotics: Brick RESET
--
If for some reason your EV3 Brick stops working during the firmware
update process, you will need to manually update the firmware by
doing the following (the EV3 Brick still needs a USB connection to
your computer):
1. Hold down the Back, Center, and Right buttons on the EV3 Brick.
2. When the EV3 Brick restarts, release the Back button.
3. When the screen says “Updating,” release the Center and Right
buttons and click the Download button in the Firmware Update
tool. The firmware will be downloaded to your EV3 Brick, which
will restart itself.
If the manual firmware update does not make your EV3 Brick work
the first time, repeat the manual update process.
