Title: A Three Megapixel Journal
Description: The back cover blurb says: "Around December of 2002, writer and photographer Waswo X. Waswo gifted his assistant, M. Srinivas Rao, a small digital camera. "A Three Megapixel Journal" tells an intimate, confessional story of the entry of digital photography into the life of a chemical-process, black-and-white "purist". Waswo X. Waswo finds himself becoming more and more fascinated with his assistant's "toy", eventually using the three megapixel to document a journey he and Rao take together through southern India in early 2005. The result is a series of two hundred and seven intriguing photographs, coupled with a compelling tale of an artist's adjustment to new technology."
