5.0 out of 5 stars Covers well over 150 years of photography, September 9, 2006
This review is from: Singular Images (Paperback)
Singular Images: Essays On Remarkable Photographs covers well over 150 years of photography, from Talbot's first negative to the latest changes in photographic art. Essays collect analysis of individual photos however, not the genre as a whole, focusing on a single image's achievements and exploring artist intention, technical and historical background, and the artistic community's response. Black and white photos blend with in-depth analysis to show what makes an achievement exceptional in the photography field.

4.0 out of 5 stars A little gem of a book, July 22, 2011

This review is from: Singular Images (Paperback)
A compendium of lively and thoughtfully written enthusiasms about a chronologically ordered sampling of exemplary photographs. I shared it with my undergraduate photo students who voiced (rare) unanimous praise for this selection. They particularly appreciated the range of images (something for everyone!) and were grateful for the authors' succinct analyses. While it makes good general reading for those interested in photography & meaning, it's sterling little reproductions and brevity were pedagogically useful as a complement to the hands-on work of a photography class. An inspiring little book.
