  "A World History of Photography, first published by Abbeyville Press in 1994 and now translated into French, Japanese, Polish, and Chinese, remains a standard textbook and invaluable reference for practitioners, critics, and historians of the medium." The book was a finalist for the Kraszna-Krausz Foundation Award. Naomi has written on Adolphe Braun, Lewis Hine, Paul Strand and others for numerous monographs, books and periodicals.
  While researching photographers for A World History of Photography, Naomi noticed women photographers were mentioned in the back pages of all of the magazines. She explained in an interview with Sylvia Sukup for Exposure, "I would make a little card and just file it away because I knew I couldn't get them all into the World History [A World History of Photography]. Then in 1990 I had a Getty fellowship and spend those three months looking up the women's work."
