Customer Reviews

Good Book a little outdated but still relavant

I was in a class taught by Ritchin, and we discussed this book in class. His ideas of how digital alteration would change the world were for the most part, spot on.Additionally his newer ideas on the subject were excellent. I would recommend this book for anyone interested in the subject.

A fascinating survey of photographers and photography.
