Ex Library book and has stickers or markings as such. No writing or markings other then from the library, All pages intact and clean, shows minor signs of wear from use. Great reading copy, Save money and recycle books! Shipped with care. --- An anthology edited by Tom Persinger of 20 essays by 21 photographers, each first given as a lecture at an F295 symposium. The contributors work with daguerreotype, tintype, ambrotype, cyanotype and pinhole methods, and with less familiar processes of their own. They combine these older techniques with digital tools to make hybrid work, without any purist approach. Each essay explains why its author chose a particular process and how that choice shapes the meaning of the work. The topics include cameras built from a van and a suitcase, iPhone images printed in platinum palladium over gold leaf, and unfixed cyanotypes.

Photography is not dying and has not died. It has been an ever-changing medium since its earliest days, and while near-obsession with the technology of the day may have defined photography over the course of its existence, photography is so much more than hardware and software. Photography is communication, whether chemical or digital, tangible or ephemeral in form.
Photography Beyond Technique is a compelling selection of essays and images that reveal the thoughts and methods of some of today‘s most exciting contemporary photographers. These artists employ alternative, historical, or handmade processes and techniques, and they share a comprehensive view of the medium: that the choice of photographic process is just as important as the selection of subjects. While other books concentrate solely on process, or theory, or artistic intent, none focus on photography in which these decisions are considered inseparable.
These 20 essays, originally presented at the annual F295 symposium and seminar series, provide a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in photography as an art form and as a medium through which to view the world. Includes:
"Looking Backward, Seeing Forward: Reframing Visual History" by Robert Hirsch
"Mystery, Memory, and Narrative" by Martha Casanave
"Finding Confidence: Combining Process with Purpose" by Mark Osterman
"Photograph, Material, and Metaphor" by Jerry Spagnoli
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
