>/p/ philosophy threadI'm going to share some works that reflect on photography. These works are what initially inspired me to take photography as a hobby. It seems a lot of people here, like me, have to deal with some form of depressive disorder (I suffer from dysthymia). I hope these will help you make sense of your art and thus alleviate your angst.
Starting with my favourite. If there's one book that is a must, it's this one. At the time Barthes wrote his reflections on photography, he was mourning the recent death of his mother. That should give you an idea of his state of mind throughout the book.
