Why People Photograph

I.m. ruzz

A book that asks big questions and describes a lot of the problems with being "a photographer" or having a "a photographer's life" though those titles can play out in a myriad of ways. 

The later parts of the book it drops off a bit. Focusing more on the works of other photographers and for my interests was too dated to matter.
