A dedicated amateur photographer all my adult life, I have often thought of writing a concise history of the subject. It isn’t that there are no other histories of the subject. But most of these are reference works or just specialized studies dedicated to one or a few photographers. I know of no work that pretends to cover the entire subject, yet could be read over a weekend. One might think of including enough references so that a potential reader could track down all the further details. There is no longer a need for a “Monster Book,” where every thought is illustrated by a picture.
