Editorial reviews

A nice introduction to photography that's likely to pique the interest of young listeners. In a sweet and gentle voice, actress Leah Vandenburg outlines the history and evolution of the form, explaining concepts such as the camera obscura and camera lucida. She also emphasizes the importance of photography in both art and the news, and even in our own houses. Gentle instrumental music makes the recording more fun. A good choice for kids who have shown a budding interest in the subject.

Critic reviews

"I'm learning all sorts of stuff about stuff I didn't even know I didn't know. And it sticks. In a nutshell: wonderful." (Jonathon Margolis, Financial Times)

Interesting

It is a nice overview and a brief history of photography and in general, progress of still photography to motion pictures. Of course, elaboration would be great, however, it's short.
