Camera Lucida: Reflections on Photography by Roland Barthes

4.0

Recommended by a prof when I described a series of family photos I'm working with.

The writing is, at first, a bit convoluted and challenging. However, I found that with patience I was able to hear Barthes in the context of my own experience with photography and the Photograph.

I came away with several pages of scribbled quotes in my journal. These for consideration as I work with two different image/photo-based projects: my Feminist Family Tree and The Body Catalog.
