In 1898 White's fame continued to rise. His photographs reproduced for the first time in national publications ("The Photographic Times", "Harper's Magazine", and "Brush and Pencil"), and he traveled to the east coast to discuss the state of photography as an art with his colleagues. In Philadelphia, in conjunction with the First Philadelphia Photographic Salon, he met with F. Holland Day and Joseph Keiley, and in New York he met Alfred Stieglitz. The latter would remain close friends for several more years.
