The first two editions of his book, The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes have received international critical acclaim and are universally recognized by artists, curators, historians, and educators as the definitive texts in the genre of alternative process photography and photographically integrated media and culture. A significantly expanded 850 page / 650 image, 3rd edition will be published in late 2014. Christopher is presently University Professor and Director of the MFA in Photography program at The College of Art and Design – Lesley University.
