Ritchin F. In Our Own Image: The Coming Revolution in Photography: How Computer Technology Is Changing Our View of the World

Aperture, 1990. — 184 p. — (Writers and Artists on Photography).This book is intended to provoke discussion, both among those who work professionally with photography and those whose primary experience of photography is as a reader, and between these groups. It was written in appreciation of the important historical juncture at which we stand, just before the widespread adoption of electronic technology, out of a sense that we must try to take some responsibility for the future of the immensely popular and still believable medium of photography.This book was also made with the awareness that there are many new and fruitful avenues of exploration that will inevitably emerge from the marriage of computer and photography, whose synergistic potential rivals photography's original promise of 150 years ago.
