A century and a half of close-knitted community spirit; independent-mindedness; and a strong sense of stewardship have uniquely melded into present-day Ashland. Behind that patchwork of local ingenuity; artistry; and infamy are the faces of thousands�too many of whom are not mentioned within the pages of this book. There were hundreds of generations of Shasta Native American families that lived off the hills and creeks where Ashland now sprawls; but their abodes were abandoned and replaced by the lumber and flour mills; cleared streets; and painted homes of Ashland Mills. The sense of spirit and enthusiasm instilled by Ashland�s early settlers bred the town�s participation in the Chautauqua cultural movement; the remnants of which harbor Ashland�s world-renown Oregon Shakespeare Festival; which paved the way for a former mill town�s future prosperity. That spirit of ingenuity and artistry continues to shape Ashland and attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors annually to the quaint town nestled below the mighty crest of Siskiyou Pass along the Oregon-California border.

The only reason I purchased it; was because it was required for a photography class I was taking.It was difficult to follow and it was almost as if the author was trying to tell you that their way was the correct way.Like most art; its in the eye of the beholder...but the teaching in this book seemed very allof and it wasnt my style.Many of the hipsters in the class seemed to agree with statements in the book tho.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great book for the technical photographerBy Erin NelsonI am a recent student in the artistic aspect of photography and needed serious help with the artistic theory. This book helped me get through all the dense books I could not get into.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. DisappointingBy C. ReedGreat anthology badly edited. Editor sees to apologize for this being an academic book. In retrospect I probably should have gone to the original sources - Berger; Sontag; Barthes et al. If youre new to photo theory then this is probably a useful crib. Disappointing
