Examining what he calls \"Home Mode\" photography, Richard Chalfen explores snapshots, slide shows, family albums, home movies, and home videos, uncovering what people do \u003ci\u003ewith\u003c\/i\u003e their photos as well as what their personal photos do \u003ci\u003efor\u003c\/i\u003e them.\u003cbr\u003e Chalfen's \"Polaroid People\" are recognizable-if ironically viewed-relatives, uncles, aunts, and All-American kids. As members of \"Kodak Culture\" they watch home movies, take pictures of newborn babies, and even, in their darker moments, scratch out the faces of disliked relatives in group photographs. He examines who shoots these photos and why, as well as how they think (or don't) of planning, editing, and exhibiting their shots. Chalfen's analysis reveals the culturally structured behavior underlying seemingly spontaneous photographic activities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard Chalfen is professor emeritus of anthropology at Temple University and past president of the Society of Visual Anthropology.
