Why Photography Matters

by Jerry L. Thompson

"Photography matters, writes Jerry Thompson, because of how it works - not only as an artistic medium but also as a way of knowing. It matters because how we understand what photography is and how it works tell us something about how we understand anything." -- Book jacket
