The introduction begins with an explanation of how
photography has become such an important part of our society because of the use
of images. It describes how the book will be broken up into eight categories: “If
This is Art”, “Once Upon a Time”, “Deadpan”, “Something and Nothing”, “Intimate
Life”, “Moments in History”, “Revived and Remade”, and “Physical and Material”.
Each of these sections will highlight a certain facet of photography and show its
importance in today’s society and the world. The introduction also makes a
point of stating that the intent of the book is not to focus on photographers
of the past, but to look at the importance and significance of today’s
photography. The remaining pages of the introduction are spent giving a brief
history of what has led to contemporary photography. Each one of the artists
mentioned played an important role in how photography is done today.
