Testimonial:
"Calumet Photographic’s DVD The Essence of Photography with
John Upton is an excellent interview of an artist who has worked a
lifetime in the medium. John Upton co-authored the book Photography,
the preeminent text that, in my opinion, all others have been measured
against since the mid 1970s. Interviewer Jerry Oher is well prepared
and the questions invite aesthetic depth from the artist as well as the
challenges of technological expertise of the medium. John Upton is
wonderfully articulate in describing areas of importance to making and
looking at photographs, as well as looking at the medium’s history and
changing technology. The Essence of Photography provides a fundamental
view of photography beyond the usual how-to. It has a wide audience
appeal for photographers and for beginning photography course
curriculums."
