Say "cheese"!: Looking at snapshots in a new way

- Default Title
Description
A unique, entertaining, wide-ranging look at an important but neglected area of photography. Collector and critic Graham King evaluates the snapshot in all its rich historical background and aesthetics. He discusses the snapshot as "found art," the basis for much of the "high art" of modern gallery photography and shows us how the snapshot can sometimes be superb, though accidentally achieved, photography.We learn how to interpret the snapshot as an artifact of social history that informs us of who we are and how we live (and have lived), and how to "read" a snapshot with a discerning eye.Illustrated with over 200 photographs from the author's private collection and with works from the modern masters of photography, Say "Cheese"! will delight and fascinate anyone interested in the art—and artlessness—of the snapshot.
