My understanding is that this is a history class, not a skills class. Those outside academe often don't understand the distinction. The former sharpens conceptual skills and critical thinking while the latter is a how-to. Understanding the history of radio does not require building one.

I hate to draw a comparison between learning photography and med school, but photography is a hands-on course of study, unlike for example, history, English or other book course. Watching a lecture on Youtube may have merit but in street photography (actually doing street photography) we all have our own styles. These days if rarely matters, as street work has become iPhone work. I find many shooters are so busy taking pictures of themselves they don’t have time for real street work.On Mar 19, 2014, at 7:25 PM, B. L.

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.On Mar 19, 2014, at 6:23 PM, B. L. Bucqueroux wrote:http://www.creativecareersinstitute.com/

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!
