Hi all,

I found this fascinating series on History of Photography. I downloaded the whole series on my Itouch, for when I am travelling and eating alone.

Yes, interesting but mainly from a forensic point of view as to what presents as photographic scholarship these days.

Virtually none of this stuff stands up to tight scrutiny regarding basic assumptions. For example, can a photograph be manipulated and still be a photograph? If not, then the whole thesis goes poof!
