Defining photography is impossible. Revealing it is another matter,
and that's what The Concise Focal Encyclopedia of Photography does,
with each turn of the page. History: The technical origins and
evolution of photography are half of the story. The other half
consists of the ways that cultural forces have transformed
photography into a constellation of practices more diverse than any
other mode of representation. Photographers can tell a more
in-depth story through a photo like Dorothea Lange's "Migrant
Mother than a journalist ever could with the written word alone.
Major themes and practitioners: Over 25 entries, many with
supporting illustrations, examine the figures, trends, and ideas
that have contributed most heavily to the history and current state
of photography. Contemporary issues: The issues influencing
photography today are more complex than at any other time in its
history. Questions of ethics, desire, perception, digitization, and
commercialization all vie for attention. Hear what the experts have
to say about crucial issues such as whether or not the images we
take today will last the test of time, and if so, how? When
material is covered this skillfully, "concise is no compromise. The
Concise Focal Encyclopedia of Photography is packed with useful
information, compelling ideas, and - best of all - pure pleasure.
