After Photography examines the myriad ways in which the digital
revolution has fundamentally altered the way we receive visual
information, from photos of news events taken by ordinary people on
cell phones to the widespread use of image surveillance. In a world
beset by critical problems and ambiguous boundaries, Fred Ritchin
argues that it is time to begin energetically exploring the
possibilities created by digital innovations and to use them to
better understand our rapidly changing world.
Ritchin one of our most influential commentators on photography
investigates the future of visual media as the digital revolution
transforms images into a hypertextual medium, fundamentally
changing the way we conceptualize the world. Simultaneously, the
increased manipulation of photographs makes photography suspect as
reliable documentation, raising questions about its role in
recounting personal and public histories. In the tradition of John
Berger and Susan Sontag, Ritchin analyzes photography's failings
and reveals untapped potentials for the medium."
