A Good Book.
In response to Brenna's post about Ways of Seeing by John Berger, I didn't realize that we will be using it in class; are we reading just an excerpt or the whole book? I'm reading it right now for my Art History class with Professor Weiss, and finding it quite interesting so far. I have only read the first chapter, but part of it talks about photography (how it changed the interpretation and perception of art) especially with regard to time. What is odd but intruiging about Ways of Seeing as well is that some of the chapters are entirely composed of pictures, and we as readers are expected to infer the authors' message from a purely visual explanation.
