Philosophy of Photography Taking pics is one thing, but understanding why we take them, what they mean, what they are best used for, how they effect our reality -- all of these and more are important issues of the Philosophy of Photography. One of the best authors on the subject is Susan Sontag in her book "On Photography."

RIP Malcolm Browne!

Pretty soon we are getting to the end of the reporters that covered the Vietnam war.


Off topic: I wish National Geographic would to a TV series on them, the last war with true access for PJ's...
