These texts, slightly edited to avoid potential overlaps and some highly technical chapters that may not be so interesting to contemporary readers, provide extraordinary theoretical content, precise instructions for taking a good picture and how to acquire the visual tools to do it, and invite reflection upon the difference and responsibility of owning a camera in those days versus today"--Publisher's website. 520 8 $a Berenice Abbot (1898-1991) is best known for her work in the fields of architecture, portraiture, and science. She first learned photography in Paris, as an assistant to Man Ray. It was at his studio where she also encountered work by Eugene Atget (1857-1927), who in turn played an influential role in her practice. Abbot was committed to modernity and capturing the poetry of the moment, whether through inventing new techniques for taking pictures of physics experiments or shooting the streets of New York. This book casts a fascinating look back at her writings, combining precise instructions and theoretical content in texts aimed towards either professionals or amateurs. 650 0 $a Photography $v Handbooks, manuals, etc. 650 0 $a Photography $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a View cameras. 600 10 $a Atget, Eugene, $d 1857-1927. 600 17 $a Atget, Eugene, $d 1857-1927 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00037063 650 7 $a Photography $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061714 650 7 $a Photography $x Philosophy $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061781 650 7 $a View cameras $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01166892 655 7 $a Handbooks and manuals $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423877 700 1 $a Diego, Estrella de. $e writer of preface. 830 0 $a Ars Litterae. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317024048.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=644CA28CE9E911EBBBC9467A3DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
