Photography is not dying and has not died. It has been an ever-changing medium since its earliest days; and while near-obsession with the technology of the day may have defined photography over the course of its existence; photography is so much more than hardware and software. Photography is communication; whether chemical or digital; tangible or ephemeral in form. Photography Beyond Technique is a compelling selection of essays and images that reveal the thoughts and methods of some of todayrsquo;s most exciting contemporary photographers. These artists employ alternative; historical; or handmade processes and techniques; and they share a comprehensive view of the medium: that the choice of photographic process is just as important as the selection of subjects. While other books concentrate solely on process; or theory; or artistic intent; none focus on photography in which these decisions are considered inseparable. These 20 essays; originally presented at the annual F295 symposium and seminar series; provide a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in photography as an art form and as a medium through which to view the world. Includes: "Looking Backward; Seeing Forward: Reframing Visual History" by Robert Hirsch"Mystery; Memory; and Narrative" by Martha Casanave"Finding Confidence: Combining Process with Purpose" by Mark Osterman"Photograph; Material; and Metaphor" by Jerry Spagnoli
