The book reveals how the intersection of a mobile Internet with photography and video has radically changed what we expect from the witnessing camera. I think this book is destined to be essential reading for all those thinking about the future of our visual culture."--Mark Lubell, Executive Director, International Center of Photography <p/> "Brings together prophetic historic texts with the best of recent thinking to create an essential reader. This book provides a critical framework that genuinely supports a creative life in photography; its pluralism in the range of ideas and voices speaks out for what is new and what is enduring in the vital dynamics of photographic culture."--Charlotte Cotton, author of <i>The Photograph as Contemporary Art</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The reconsideration of medium provides some of the richest content in <i>Vision Anew</i>.... As a reader in a rapidly shifting field, it seeks to avoid the more fixed or ideologized positions that have often characterized polarized debates around photography in particular."-- "Afterimage"<br><br>"Through its variety of voices, Vision Anew doesn't promote a new language to define "lens art," but dissects the languages that the medium itself has created."--Taylor Dafoe "The Brooklyn Rail" (10/5/2015 12:00:00 AM)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Adam Bell</b> is a photographer and writer.
