treaclewaffle's review against another edition
Immediately felt like one of those books that uses big words to disguise it actually doesn’t have much to say. I could hardly get through a sentence.

The non-fiction mood popped off recently, but Susan Sontag is one of my favourite writers and if you know anything about aesthetics, you know the topic of photography is one that will possibly never be exhausted, as it offers itself to millions of interpretations and representations. Here are just a few: and surprisingly easy to go through as well.

I liked the start about depolitization of photography and class struggles with taking pictures of povert etc, but then it becomes an account of all the american photographers and an analysis of their art which I found boring.

If only Sontag was alive today, there would be two more brilliant chapters (at least) about digital photography and selfie culture! Lots of what she does say is true at an exponentially far greater level than it was at the time of writing. I got tons of quotes but not gonna share them - I am selfish that way.
