Current Paper: Barthes & Sontag on Photography

I've finished reading two classics on the medium of photography and compiled a massive list of interesting quotes... too many to list here. I'll be posting my paper soon. Using Barthes and Sontag as starting off points, I'm writing about (more like quickly summarizing) photography's ability to question our understanding of truth, reality, and time.

1. Sontag, Susan. On Photography. New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1977. 



2. Barthes, Roland. Camera Lucida: Reflections on Photography. New York: Hill and Wang, 1981.
