This was such a nice and comprehensive review, thank you! I do think that despite the general knowledge, that every picture and even video can be altered, people forget and take sight for reality by default sometimes. (We process sight faster than we can consciously think) Especially with all the ai stuff nowdays, that is a unsettling prospect. Still very relevant despite us „knowing better“
Amazing to think how relevant most of her takes still are to this day, again thank you for the video.
Thanks--a very insightful analysis of a very insightful book (which I've read and which has influenced the way I approach photography). So tragic that we lost her well before her time. It would indeed be most interesting to hear more recent commentary from her on this and other subjects, as well as more of her artistic output.
Wanted to watch other thoughts on the book before I finish the last chapter. Wow, just wow. This is an incredible recap, and is so dense with introspection its beautiful. Made me appreciate the book to an even greater level.
you are so generous! thank you for sharing your thoughts
A superb and sublime review.
Thank you for your thoughts and revealing Sontagses
Fantastic presention. Thank you.
You seem like you'd be a great friend to have. Rather than seem trapped by ideas, you seem open to playing and remaining curious about where ideas lead, ideal fodder for great conversation. Excellent video!
Thank you so, so much. This made my day.
I second that entirely, thank you so much for an excellent video. I love Sontag's work, specifically on her work on Camp & discussions on Photography, and her perhaps, ironic & aloof introspection on Queerness. At times, I take 6 months - 1 year breaks on social media, as a cleanse - particulary, thinking of the economy and the gluttonous consumption of images, and of the digital in particular - to reconnect, in different sense - with the world in front of me, around me, around. As a hairstylist-cum-sculptor, I've decided to move forward after some infamous obscurity exhibiting in museums and with gallery representation - to withhold new work for release on social media - as a means, of creating a healthy amount of friction (as well, greater sustainability in practice of producing) for the consumer, in digesting my work. As the process, is very tedious and at times painstakingly so. I wonder if you both, would agree with this notion and strategy ? Not to mention, I am learning 4x5 large format as a part of this long-time desire of equal capturing and developing of the image in post, as in the production of my hair braid textile sculptures. Your insight would be most appreciated. Thank you again, for such an excellent @FlashbackArrest & for an endearing response I couldn't have said better myself @Nuance88 #longlivefilm
*to withhold new work from being released on social media, instead on Patreon but with snips of close-up in scale, for marketing oc
thanks for posting this. great review.
I'm revisiting authors that were influential to me in art school in the 80's - like Sontag and John Berger - and was wondering what younger folk have to say about these 'classic' texts today. I really like your humble approach, and appreciate the links you give. Wish you'd been a prof when I was in school! And where can we see your own photos? Cheers!
Such a beautiful comment. I really appreciate it ❣️ thank you so much, you've made my day. I am taking a hiatus from photographing, but you can see some of my work on Instagram, my handle is @juan.percenter
great analysis !
Nice video, thank you
Great video thanks 🙏
this is nice
I’m surprised you haven’t figured out how she had such great insight into photography, she was married to Annie Leibovitz!
Thanks! she dated Leibovitz very late in her life, and if they married, this is news to me. Her interest in photography started when she was a teenager, decades prior. I would argue that Leibovitz learned more about the medium from Sontag than the other way around. At least her (Leibovitz's) pictures of Sarajevo were taken after Sontag convinced her to grab her fuji 6x9 and shoot some black and white documentary photographs. Thanks for watching!
Amazing, I wasn't aware of all this. Exciting ^-^
Is that music in the background yours or have I got something else turned on. It's annoying.
Thanks!! I've tweaked the music these days, I just feel it's a little too dry with only my voice, and I get a little self conscious. Migh try without it at some point, anyway thanks for the comment!
