I can't believe that I went through an entire undergrad career in fine art with a focus on photography and painting and never read any Sontag! This work was so intellectually inspiring and challenging. Published in the 70s, this work anticipates everything we have today. I can't wait to read her 2003, Regarding the Pain of Others.

There’s no shortage of insight to be had in this collection, but unfortunately Sontag’s aphoristic and often polemical style seemed to leave some of the more interesting thoughts underdeveloped. Also, as a practicing photographer, there are a large number of instances where Sontag demonstrates a severe lack in genre awareness along with an amazing ignorance of photographic process.

A fantastic series of essays about photography that temper my love for it and reflect back at me some of the important criticism of its value.
