John Nack on Adobe : Time & space in photography

July 12, 2007

In honor of George Eastman‘s 153rd birthday (today), Slate features an interesting Magnum photo essay on the history of consumer picture-taking.

These links are really great! I love the photo essays, and the Chinese factory pictures really surprised me… I don’t think I knew about the extreme conditions people live in there – their lifestyle seems so pre-formatted and robotic. It’s made me feel lucky to live in a free country (I guess I shouldn’t complain about traffic!)

Hello!
I have a question. I have to write about space in photography , and it’s hard to me to find some detailed themes about it. I’m a student of graphic design and I need it for my master work. Thank you.
