(  ) DawsonP | Jun 27, 2009 |  needs various viewings (  )  purplesue | May 29, 2009 | This is probably the best, and most inspiring book on photography ever written. Inspirations for Barthes are both phenomenology and semiology. ( ) knutskjaerven | Nov 24, 2008 | I would have to reread this book several times to retain much of it; as it was, I merely enjoyed it as a philosophical journey, an intellectual inquiry on which I was allowed to spy. It was fascinating, often revealing truths about my own relationship to photographs, while raising further questions about photography, depiction, and art. (  ) eilonwy_anne | May 6, 2008 | ..The Photograph belongs to that class of laminated objects whose two leaves cannot be separated without destroying them both: the windowpane and the landscape, and why not: Good and Evil, desire and its object: dualities we can conceive but not perceive..(p 6) ( ) dawnpen | Nov 2, 2005 |  no reviews | add a review
