Walter Benjamin’s “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction”, “A Little History of Photography”, Roland Barthes “Camera Lucida”, and Susan Sontag’s “On Photography” make up the repeated titles that you come across in essay after essay that begin photography books. Despite the title, I think many readers will feel the shock of the new. “Old Fields” stands out as a completely independent piece of sustained writing and thinking. There is a weird effect to this, it feels echo-chamber-y, as though there is an institutional confirmation bias in critical outlooks on photography. If you want to make your pictures fit into the flow of words that go along with the prestige of photography, you will find someone to write something to relate the pictures you have made with one of these essays.

That page after page, you find confirmation? “Old Fields” by John Stilgoe is a transformational book.
