Review by Library Journal Review

This book's first edition received critical acclaim and became a standard in the field. James, an internationally recognized artist with paintings and photographs in America's leading museums, expands the text with information on newer digital methods and recent Internet resources. There is also a history of photographic techniques, including lensless cameras, calotype, salted paper, anthotype, cyanotype, argyrotype, chrysotype, kallitype, ambrotype, wet collodian and dry plate emulsions, and digital negative workflows. Extensive appendixes cover chemistry and safety, resources, supply lists, conversion tables, and historical and contemporary bibliographies. Highly recommended for large collections. For strictly modern alternative processes, see John G. Blair's Alternative Digital Photography. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
