Mayfield Publishing Company, 1996 - Antiques & Collectibles - 209 pages
"The two appendixes in the first edition about writing and talking about photographs have been expanded into a full and final chapter in this edition. This chapter should prove helpful to those who are asked to write about or critique photographs. It provides practical guidelines about choosing a topic, writing down thoughts, organizing information, drafting a paper and refining a draft. The chapter offers samples of writing by students who have used this book in courses. The chapter also offers advice on conducting considerate and caring discussions of colleagues' photographs. Readers familiar with the first edition of this book will notice more photographs here, there are now 30 full-page illustrations of the photographs discussed in the text. Photographs have been added to the extensively revised chapter 7 to provide visual illustrations of the theoretical positions examined."--Page xii.
