Camera Lucida: Reflections on Photography
Camera Lucida: Reflections on Photography
This personal, wide-ranging, and contemplative volume–and the last book Barthes published–finds the author applying his influential perceptiveness and associative insight to the subject of photography. To this end, several black-and-white photos (by the likes of Avedon, Clifford, Hine, Mapplethorpe, Nadar, Van Der Zee, and so forth) are reprinted throughout the text.
Customer Review: Just this..
The only disparaging thing I can say about this book is that it caused me to purchase a better dictionary.
Customer Review: shocked
I am somewhat stunned and dismayed by the negative reviews of this book. In fact, it has seem to elicit a sense of vitriol in some.
