We say the camera doesnt lie; but we also know that pictures distort and deceive. In Picture Perfect; Kiku Adatto brilliantly examines the use and abuse of images today. Ranging from family albums to Facebook; political campaigns to popular movies; images of war to pictures of protest. Adatto reveals how the line between the person and the pose; the real and the fake; news and entertainment is increasingly blurred. New technologies make it easier than ever to capture; manipulate; and spread images. But even in the age of the Internet; we still seek authentic pictures and believe in the cameras promise to document; witness; and interpret our lives.

Bostons North End (Images of America)By A. RileyThe pictures in this book are excellent. I very much enjoyed the book. I have been doing genealogy on my family and my husbands Boston Irish family. It gave me a good idea of what things were like back then.
