"The eyes are organs for looking" - By: S. Ballantine, 01 Oct 2007
This book was bought for me for a present, & was left for a while until I began a photography course. I have also done a politics degree & this book is an excellent combination of philosophical musings & political facts. I referenced almost every article in different areas of my course. I particularly love the idea of belief & photography. Can we believe images that are not indexical?
politics, politics and yes photography - By: pingpong, 18 Sep 2007
Introduced by Berger whose philosophy & aesthetic is shared by Levi Strauss. Insightful & revealing about the politics behind the photographers featured, a politics that is personal & well as social.
Moving - By: GOS, 22 Jul 2007
I think I was expecting a visual exploration of photography but this book was not what I had expected. It is a collection of essays on human suffering, & how photography has represented it. Strauss is a social & artistic commentator, who can speak beautifully & simply to alll of us. It is a beautiful book - but it made me sad...
