The authors decades of research and first-hand experience with these iconic artists is evident throughout and brings sharp but endearing focus to the personal and artistic lives of Weston; Adams; Cunningham; and many others; along with their shared vision to advance photography as an art form during the depths of the Great Depression. Compelling read for anyone and a must read for any fan of photography or art history.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Alinder does a good job of humanizing each of these photographersBy P. DouglisAlinder does a good job of humanizing each of these photographers; and places them into the context of their time and their art. We come away with a much better idea of f.64s contribution to the history of expressive photography. The value of this book is diminished; however; by the many redundant descriptions of f.64 exhibitions that clutter its pages. (A complete listing of every f.64 exhibition is presented still again in the back of the book.) I purchased this book hoping to gain new insights into the creative talents of the men and women who; more than a century ago; moved photographic art from style to substance. I did find such insights; but the massive amount of factual information presented in this book made them more difficult to absorb.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Warning about the Kindle version!By rschwiebThis is a reaction to the Kindle version: Im currently enjoying reading the book (8.9" Kindle); but all the pictures are no larger than 1 square inch on-screen and are therefore all but useless. If one zooms in on a picture; it gets only marginally larger and is pixelated.
