Jay Prosser's main theme in this book as photography as loss. The primary figures he considers are Roland Barthes, Claude Levi-Strauss, Gordon Parks, and Elizabeth Bishop; he has some interesting things to say about each. I wasn't happy with his argumentation: he often seems to rely on word play (equivocation) or hasty generalization. And I was never convinced that loss is an inherent aspect of photography (except in a trivial sense).
