Re: Anthology of readings for class

[Jan Faul <jan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I hope the students are getting a solid course in what to do in the darkroom when you’re not making out or hooking up. Knowing how to print is the great equalizer when it comes to understanding photography. For reading, give them the Life Library of Photography - the Great Themes. On Amazon they are less than $5. Assigning youtube is  one of the things diluting the concept of making real stills.

I do not have a text to recommend, but you might want to assign some of my YouTubes.

This isn't up to date?  That would be sad.    Does the the updated "Shock of the New" cover much more?

I'm going to be teaching a class in photo history in the fall. None of
the anthologies of readings I've accumulated over the years seems to
be up to date; I'm  looking for something that includes writings from
Barthes and later.

I'd appreciate suggestions from the list.

Thanks!
