This chapter of the book touched base with the history of Photography. According to the very first paragraph, Photographer historians divide photographs into four stylistic trends: straight, formalistic, documentary, and equivalent. These categories relate to the actual deed of taking a picture, however, according to John Szarkowski, how we view photographs are divided into five characteristics: The thing itself, the detail, the frame, time, and vantage point. This chapter touches theories and ideas from numerous historical figures in photography. The author is trying to aware the reader about all the different views to photography. Colored photographs,announced by Sally Eauclaire, was divided into seven subsets: self reflections, formalism, the vivid vernacular, documentation, moral vision, enchantments, and fabricated fictions.
The author included salient images to make point of what was being said. They raised comprehension to the numerous different categories and styles related to digital photography, and had insight from credible photography scholars. These pages were very detail oriented with a lot of historical figures being made more aware. This chapter helped me gain a better understanding of all the different terms and categories related to digital photography.
