     Rick Doble is the author of 3 hard copy books on digital photography (see them listed below) and a photography expert for the PIXIQ website. His essay-blogs have attracted a total of over 300,000 reads since 1997. In this ebook he has collected 43 of his short, easy to read, essay-blogs written during the last 15 years. These articles explore the artistic potential of digital photography from the earliest days to today. Illustrated with more than 150 photographs, Doble talks about digital photography from a number of perspectives including the influence of modern art, the relation to science, the evolving technology, and the history of the camera. One of these essays written in 1999, about the expressive potential of digital photography, was recently translated into Italian for the prestigious cultorweb.com site and called prophetic by that website.
