ISBN10: 0893816035, ISBN13: 9780893816032, [publisher: Aperture] Hardcover 186 pages. In 1981 Robert Adams published a volume of essays entitled Beauty in Photography, in which he suggested that art is too important to confuse with interior decoration or an investme nt opportunity. Its real use, he contended, is to affirm meaning and thus to keep intact an affection for life. Why People Photogr aph gathers a selection of Adams's writing since then. His subjec ts vary, but again he questions accepted prejudice, this time not only the view that art is trivial but that artists are separate. He demonstrates that many understand themselves to be bound to t he world by complex and important obligations. Adams's writing is free of academic jargon. Readers will also appreciate his attent ion to common experience (he talks about trying to earn an income ), his enjoyment of the unorthodox (one essay concerns dogs and p hotography), and above all his conviction that art matters. Photo graphers may or may not make a living by photography, he writes, but they are alive by it. [Wellington, New Zealand] [Publication Year: 1994]
