I'm not afraid to say it, I'm stupid. If I was too stupid to understand:

[Teuthida]

it looks wordy and complicated from the copy i saw in the bookstore. why not just skip it and use the $ to take pictures of my cat?
..

Because.

Once you read the book you will realize you aren't merely "taking pictures if your cat," but rather engaging in a time obfuscating dialogue with all humanity, a dialogue that implicates the entire domain of what we consider "the real."

If you don't read the book, tou're just taking pictures of your cat.

You decide.

heavy.

theory is for wankers.

will my pictures of the cat be any better if i read the book?

I may get the book because of what you say. I like you, not like the others...

Of course you do. Great minds find each other, somehow, someway, and when they do, the affinity is acknowledged. It's all explained by Post-structuralist hermeneutics.

No. I just looked it up on Amazon:

Product Details

• Paperback: 119 pages

That's not heavy enough to hold your cat still if you set the book on it's tail. Get a bigger heavier book (preferably hardcover). That will hold the cat in the same spot, allowing you to compose better photos.

Stephen Shore's "The Nature of Photographs" and John Szarkowki's "The Photographer's Eye" do you think I would be too stupid to understand "Camera Lucida: Reflections on Photography?"

Have you looked at the preview option on Amazon? read the few pages there and decide for your selv. BTW thanks for the head up on the 2 other titles.
Best regards
