Snapshot Versions of Life is an important foray into the culture of
photography and home life from an anthropologist's perspective.
Examining what he calls 'Home Mode' photography, Richard Chalfen
explores snapshots, slide shows, family albums, home movies, and
home videos, uncovering what people do with their photos as well as
what their personal photos do for them.Chalfen's 'Polaroid People'
are recognizable - if ironically viewed - relatives, uncles, aunts,
and All-American kids. As members of 'Kodak Culture' they watch
home movies, take pictures of newborn babies, and even, in their
darker moments, scratch out the faces of disliked relatives in
group photographs. He examines who shoots these photos and why, as
well as how they think (or don't) of planning, editing, and
exhibiting their shots. Chalfen's analysis reveals the culturally
structured behavior underlying seemingly spontaneous photographic
activities.
