July 1897
First issue of Camera Notes
Stieglitz turned the Camera Club's newsletter into a magazine, Camera Notes, with full control over it; the first issue appeared in July 1897, and it was soon considered the finest photographic magazine in the world. The critic Sadakichi Hartmann wrote that artistic photography, the Camera Club and Alfred Stieglitz seemed to him three names for one and the same thing.

May 1899
A one-man show of 87 prints
In May 1899 the Camera Club gave Stieglitz a one-man exhibition of eighty-seven prints. Preparing it while producing Camera Notes took a toll on his health; he brought in his friends Joseph Keiley and Dallet Fuguet, who were not Club members, as associate editors, and older members began campaigning against him, embroiling him throughout 1900 in protracted administrative battles.
1901
Breakdown and resignation from Camera Notes
Worn down by the strain of managing the Camera Club, in 1901 Stieglitz collapsed in the first of several mental breakdowns and spent much of the summer recuperating at Oaklawn, the family home on Lake George. Back in New York, he announced his resignation as editor of Camera Notes.
