Talk:On Photography

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] POV

This article is a poorly written and poorly researched polemic. It isn't even accurate. On Photography is wonderful and one of the most important book in the history of photography, the person who wrote this article, however, seems to never have read it.

I want to dedicate some time to changing this and going more in depth on Sontag's arguments but lack the time now. I hope someone can give her work the attention it deserves.

Well its a horrible article about a very important book.

[edit] "Related Books"

I've removed the "Related Books" section because there was just one chapter of one book listed. I assume that's Rene Girard as the fourth author, and the cave reference is obvious, but other than that its relation to On Photography is unclear.

Here's the only entry in case someone wants to do something with it:

• "In Plato's Cave" IN: Coleman, Brittenham, Campbell, Girard. Making Sense, page 465.
