Photography has a rich history, from the personal family snapshot to Earth
rising over the moon’s horizon. In its brief 170-year history, photography has
played many roles to a wide variety of people—from memory keeper to human
condition revealer to personal exploration companion. Photography reveals
how we perceive and is so important that we are compelled to capture, process,
and share our experiences with family and friends, and now—via social
media—with complete strangers. Digital photography allows us to take more
pictures, more easily, and more quickly. But before we delve into the nuts
and bolts of digital photography with the third edition of Real World Digital
Photography, allow us to address some of the essential assumptions and desires
that come with the act of creating images out of light and shadow.
