RE: Reflecting on Creativity

Get your hands on "Camera Lucida" by Roland Barthes. Its probably (even if it wasn't exactly) the same thing that was running through his head in those last days.

It is a beautiful, poignant book about photography. Short, but very dense.

    Just ordered. Thanks. I read Barthes at uni but I can't recall if I read this one - perhaps at 21 it was not something I'd identify with as much as now.

      A graceful, contemplative volume, Camera Lucida was first published in 1979. Commenting on artists such as Avedon, Clifford, Mapplethorpe, and Nadar, Roland Barthes presents photography as being outside the codes of language or culture, acting on the body as much as on the mind, and rendering death and loss more acutely than any other medium.
