What are some good books about the History of Digital Photography?
I am working on a school paper (Senior Project report) that has to be 10-12 pages long. I am doing mine on the History of Digital Photography. I have found plenty of websites, but no books on the history of Digital Photography. Any Suggestions? Titles AND Authors if you can manage it. Thanks!
The definitive photo history book is by Beaumont Newhall, one of the most respected photo historians:
http://www.amazon.com/History-Photography-Present-Beaumont-Newhall/dp/0870703811/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1221069745&sr=1-1
That, though, does not answer your question as the book only goes until the mid-80′. Just thought it was good to point out.
Here are a few resources for digital photo history:
