A review by nolansmock
On Photography by Susan Sontag

5.0

Even more relevant today than when it was written. Images are dishonest, and often appeal to an emotional world beyond what they depict. They disconnect the viewer from reality and create their own, one that changes depending on context. Their power in the modern world is immeasurable. Sontag is as harshly critical of the medium as she seems to be in awe of it, and this book will be one I revisit regularly.

I wish this copy included photographs.
