Review Quotes: This collection . . . asks us to consider the wondrous variety and complexity of the photographic image, as well as our shared photographic narrative. The breadth and expanse of the collected ideas have an equally farsighted power, and their insights could change the way you see photographs long after closing the book's cover.--Journal of the Print World
