Fiction and nonfiction are categories not often applied to photography, but on the heels of reading Janet Malcolm’s The Silent Woman I find myself thinking about photographs through her literary lens.
Always a treat, Zachary! Thank you for this piece. Your dissection and curiosity are fascinating. When I worked in the school library at Brooks, I used to read Minor White. I think you’d love his essays on photography.
This reminds me of the classic Avedon quote, 'All photos are accurate, none of them is the truth.' I've downloaded Form and Pressure, thank you for pointing it out!

Thank you, Stella! I haven't read Minor White since I was in school. Definitely worth a revisit/deeper dive. Great recommendation!
I love your thought provoking essays about photography, Zachary! They are always interesting, refreshing and give me food for thought! Thank you!
Thank you so much, Susanne!

It's great! It's part of an essay collection as well—that name of which escapes me at the moment.
