Features images from the 1920s through the 1960s, the golden age of snapshot photography. The photos both celebrate and question the conventions of snapshot photography. Texts by well-known visual culture critics offer fresh perspectives on the snapshots and their power over us. Unlike previous explorations of vernacular photography, this book takes a step forward to look at the broader cultural impact of snapshots-why we make them, how we use them, why they become relics, and, most importantly, what they reveal about us.
