Seizing the light
I read the updated 3rd edition to this book.
This was an assigned textbook for a History of Photography class & normally with assigned reading I'll skim or pick through just to find what I'm looking for. But this book was so interesting and well-written that I read every word! I learned so much & I'm disappointed that I rented this book instead of buying it, therefore I have to return it. It gave a great overview of not just the history of photography itself, but how photography affected culture and society as well as how what goes on in the world affects photography. Not just technologically, but the styles that become popular in different time periods.
My only complaint with this book is that sometimes it could be a little more succinct. It takes waaaaay too long and way too many words to get the point across. I found that all throughout the book. But the material within it is useful and interesting. Hard to believe I actually loved a textbook.
