"The first man who saw the first photograph...must have thought it was a painting: same framing, same perspective. Photography has been, and is still, tormented by the ghost of painting..." (Page 30)

Happy birthday, Roland Barthes. This is excerpted from his work on photography, and this particular quote about family photographs touches on mourning and memory. I appreciate his writings on grief.

ValerieAndBooks 💖💖💖 I should look more into him. 7y
batsy @ValerieAndBooks I've only read him in fragments, alas, but that seems to suit the nature of his work. Even Mourning Diary, which I loved, is not a read straight through kind of book. I hope you enjoy his writings if you give it a go 🙂 7y

I'm a MA student in Film but I also work on contract as a media producer, which just means I write, photograph, film & edit video/audio (you can see some of this in bg) etc as needed. I don't usually use books for work but these are the ones I would use if I had to / some I use for my degree. But I work from home so technically all my books are #workplacebooks right? #Somethingforsept #septphotochallenge

I am a primitive, a child--or a maniac; I dismiss all knowledge, all culture, I refuse to inherit anything from another eye than my own.

As spectator I was interested in Photography only for "sentimental" reasons; I wanted to explore it not as a question (a theme) but as a wound: I see, I feel, hence I notice, I observe, and I think.
