Photography as an everyday practice is once again changing
dramatically. At this moment of transition from analogue to
digital, Digital Snaps aims to develop a new media ecology that can
accommodate these changes to photography 'as we know it'. Expert
contributors representing varied disciplines demonstrate how and to
what extent the traditional social practices, technologies and
images of analogue photography are being transformed with the
movement to digital photography. They zoom in on typical,
vernacular, everyday practices: the development of the family photo
album from a physical object in the living room to a digital
practice on the Internet; the use of mobile phones in everyday
life; photo communities on the Internet; photo booth photography;
studio photography; and fine arts' appropriation of amateur
photography. They explore how this media convergence transforms the
media ecology - the networks, objects, performances, meanings and
circulations - of vernacular photography, as we research it through
ordinary people's use of such new cameras and interactive Internet
spaces as part of their everyday lives.
