John Szarkowski - The Photographers Eye

"The history of photography has been less a journey

than a growth. Its movement has not been linear and consecutive but centrifugal. Photography, and our understanding of it, has spread from a center; it has, by infusion, penetrated our consciousness. Like an organism, photography was born whole. It is in our progressive discovery of it that its history lies."

After looking and researching into this book i found that it is an insight into photographs and why they look that way. After looking at this book online, i felt i didnt get much information from it other than the photographs themselves, this was the left down to myself as the viewer to interpretate them how i may. Within the book it is set into sub sections which are 'The Thing Itself', 'The Detail' , 'The Frame' , 'The Time' and 'Vantage Point' which all contain seperate photographs relating to the sub title.
