A collection of essays, reviews, and lectures some of which have gained a cult following due to online postings by Tod Papageorge, one of the most influential voices in photography. It includes texts that examine the more general questions of photographys relationship to poetry.

Offers insight into some of his favorite images, artists, and themes, drawing upon nearly three decades of experience writing and thinking about photography. This book describes the meanings of work by dozens of photographers, from Dorothea Lange and Eugene Atget to Martin Parr, Luc Delahaye, Susan Lipper, and Paul Graham.

Suitable for children between the ages of nine and twelve, this is an introduction to photography that asks how photographers transform ordinary things into meaningful moments. It takes readers on a journey through the power and magic of photography: its abilities to freeze time, tell a story, combine several layers into one frame, and more.
