I don’t have much time to read these days with my excessive reading schedule for my Theory and Crit class. Many many readings of great interest, and papers which I have to write of less than no interest. Anyway I just started reading this book River of Shadows: Eadweard Muybridge and the Technological Wild West, by Rebecca Solnit. It is amazing, and has a great title. I want to live in the technological wild west. This is the second Rebecca Solnit book I’ve read, the first being A Field Guide to Getting Lost, which was phenomenal.
River of Shadows is awesome. I think a lot of the photos that she discusses but doesn’t reprint are available online.
