Review # 1 was written on 2008-01-18 00:00:00 Mark Sangwin From the earliest camera obscuras through to the modern day (circa 1989), this book traces the history of photography, showing both the technological and aesthetic developments as they transformed the visual landscape. The book does a good job of relating the history behind the photos, as well as displaying the sheer beauty of the images in and of themselves. |
Review # 2 was written on 2010-04-29 00:00:00 Pamela Pacsay This book is particularly good at describing the movement of photographic technology and how that affected content. The emphasis is definitely on early photography, and the book gets a little lost in the contemporary art section; it does not devote enough time to the complex matter of photography post-1960s. |
