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."

I had to drive to a bigger city/library to obtain Winogrand: Figments From The Real World. I've seen the video and the PDF before, they're a nice introduction. You might check this book, it gives a great insight in his photography. It comments about his reasons for teaching as well - mostly he did it because he needed some kind of income. I like how the book tells more about his reasons for photographing, and his typical way of tilting photos.
