Providing a wide-ranging account of the narrative properties of photographs; Greg Battye focuses on the storytelling power of a single image; rather than the sequence. Drawing on ideas from painting; drawing; film; video; and multimedia; he applies contemporary research and theories drawn from cognitive science and psychology to the analysis of photographs. Using genuine forensic photographs of crime scenes and accidents; the book mines human drama and historical and sociological authenticity to argue for the centrality of the perception and representation of time in photographic narrativity.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Spruill/Spruell AncestryBy Rev TheresaThis book helps to bring insights about my family roots on my Dads family side. Very interesting; the spelling has changed from ill to ell in some cases because census takers made mistakes. My Dads brothers names were spelledSpruill and the census takers made the mistake of spelling his Spruell. When he went into the military in 1941;they would not allow him to change it; even though the correct spelling was on his birth certificate.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy CustomerAwesome historical lesson about the generational journey from the plantation. A must read for Spruill descendants0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Not what I thoughtBy DonnaBI was hoping for more history. Author mentioned Native American connection to the Free people of color yet she never elaborated. The book is more of a picture book not a authentic reference book on genealogy.
