I started writing this blog post about how poor the search images in Google was. In the past when I wanted to do some research on the style of a photographer I found the inability to remove duplicates, having to deal with mis-tagged images or not being able to see full size images was a frustrating experience. Even using a software like Cooliris did not not overcome the inherent weaknesses.

Today I went to get an image for this post and I checked two artists - and was surprised that I didn't get aggravated by seeing the same pictures over and over again.

I still believe it is important to review photos as the tactile medium that they were intended to be, and arranged in size and order that the artist intended but Google images now makes it much easier to identify those artists that I may wish to explore further in a book.
