In a world beset by critical problems and ambiguous boundaries, Fred Ritchin argues that it is time to begin energetically exploring the possibilities created by digital innovations and to use them to better understand our rapidly changing world. \u003cp\u003eRitchin--one of our most influential commentators on photography--investigates the future of visual media as the digital revolution transforms images into a hypertextual medium, fundamentally changing the way we conceptualize the world. Simultaneously, the increased manipulation of photographs makes photography suspect as reliable documentation, raising questions about its role in recounting personal and public histories. In the tradition of John Berger and Susan Sontag, Ritchin analyzes photography's failings and reveals untapped potentials for the medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fred Ritchin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393050246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393050240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
