Creo que es un libro recomendable en todos sus apartados pero muy especialmente lo que nos dice Susan Sontag, por ejemplo, por citar solo unas frases suyas:
My purpose is not to evaluate the work of particular photographers,
but rather to discuss the problems raised by the presence of photography, and these
include moral issues as well as aestheticissues. I think it's a perfectly good idea
to study photography. I'm not talking about studying making photographs, but
studying looking at them, and learning how to see, because the way in which you
learn to see is a general education of sight, and its results can be extended to
other ways of seeing.
Y también el texto de John Morris uno de los grandes editores de prensa gráfica de la historia de la fotografía.
