Delightfully refreshing look at seemingly boring old subject: an overview of photography terms. “The Visual Dictionary Photography” devotes an image, a paragraph of text to subjects old to new (Darkroom to Color Management), familiar to arcane (Exposure to Metamerism), film to digital (Contact Sheet to Anti-aliasing) and also covers major photographers of multiple eras (Diane Arbus to Alfred Stieglitz). Recommended for anyone who cares deeply about photography’s roots and its future.

Very poignant samples and the photos themselves are excellent.
