Photography as an everyday practice is once again changing dramatically. At this moment of transition from analogue to digital; Digital Snaps aims to develop a new media ecology that can accommodate these changes to photography lsquo;as we know itrsquo;. Expert contributors representing varied disciplines demonstrate how and to what extent the traditional social practices; technologies and images of analogue photography are being transformed with the movement to digital photography. They zoom in on typical; vernacular; everyday practices: the development of the family photo album from a physical object in the living room to a digital practice on the Internet; the use of mobile phones in everyday life; photo communities on the Internet; photo booth photography; studio photography; and fine artsrsquo; appropriation of amateur photography. They explore how this media convergence transforms the media ecology ndash; the networks; objects; performances; meanings and circulations ndash; of vernacular photography; as we research it through ordinary peoplersquo;s use of such new cameras and interactive Internet spaces as part of their everyday lives.

The older history is interesting for those that really like to study music history from a factual perspective. The newer history only reflects a limited view point with limited experience of actually being there. Given the abundance of modern day Texas musicians; it is understandable that there will be different points of view; but if you are going to call your book The History of Texas Music; you should do more research and interviews with the people that were actually there and lived through it in the 70s; 80s on forward. Overall the book documents a part of Texas music history; from one mans viewpoint. Not really a good fun read; but a nice try in telling the Texas music story; and a nice reference book for early history.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great book - and Im not even from TexasBy Far Northgreat book - Texas music is so complex and underrated by us amateur ethnomusicologists when we think of the history of US popular music. Well written; readable; not that "then they played here and then they played there" kind of music book.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Texas MusicBy Ronnie G.
