Review:

"Snap up" this "timely" book exploring "the minds and hearts of photographers, artists, printmakers, and designers who honed their skills with paper and chemistry, and of those who favor digital... This volume will generate enthusiastic discussion about what has been gained and lost with the adoption of digital methods." --Library Journal

"This is a wonderful book, a thoughtful appreciation of the pitfalls and promise of technology."--Ken Burns, filmmaker

"The interviews are insightful and intelligent, and Wang's portraits of the contributors are thoughtfully executed and revealing. Strongly recommended." --Royal Photographic Society Journal (UK)

"From Darkroom to Daylight is a thoughtful reflection on the transition from analogue to digital photography. Wang's engaging book is sure to be appreciated by any photographer."--Photo Life (Canada)

"What all photographs have in common is the essential role of light and light-sensitive materials in the production of an image, but there are many routes toward that end. This collection of interviews and personal narratives, accompanied by Harvey Wang's splendid portraits, offers a revelation and hence an invaluable record of key issues in how and why photographers today choose to go one way or the other, toward film or digital methods, toward darkroom or daylight." --Alan Trachtenberg, author, Reading American Photographs: Images as History, Mathew Brady to Walker Evans and other writings, and professor of English and American Studies, Yale University
