Stephen Johnson On Digital Photography

Perspectives & Techniques from a Digital Photography Pioneer Exploring the Intersection of Art & Technology
	“Steve is arguably the first digital photographer--I vividly remember the day in January 1994 when he told me that he’d shot his last piece of film. In this sorely-needed book, Steve argues eloquently and passionately that digital photography is photography first, digital second, and places it in the wider context of photography’s history and evolution.” -Bruce Fraser author of Real World Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS, Real World Color Management, Real World Adobe Photoshop CS 320 pages 5 color throughout, including beautiful duotones 715 illustrations reproduced with a 200 line screen 8.5x10 inches $40 Now Shipping.
