Thank you for this post, this book sounds very interesting. The development of technology in general, and photography in particular, has been amazing, and it is very interesting to follow it and see its influence on other areas. For instance, I am interested to know what is the correlation between the development of cameras and the development of modern art. Photography made the arts of portarait drawing, or landscape drawings, redundant, and I guess that pushed the art to the abstract paintings direction.

Sure sounds like a fascinating book. I’ll have to check it out. It’s truly amazing how far the technology has come, and I am soo relieved we don’t have to work with such harmful chemicals.

Thanks for the heads up on this one Mark.
Just so happens I will be heading to B&N later today, so I’ll check to see if they have it.
The history involved with cameras and the photographers who used them has always intrigued me.
