I purcheased this book for my son who needed it for his photography class in college. He has found it easy to understand and very imformative.

I was forced to read this drivel for a graduate photo program. God I wanted to kill myself and quit photography by the time I was finished with it.
If you want to read great photographic essays try Bill Jay's work. Amazing, insightful and filled with a sense of humor.

Susan recants many of the things she says in On Photography in her book Regarding the Pain of Others published in 2003.
