Description

Living with His Camera offers a unique perspective on photography and family life. Cultural theorist Jane Gallop shares her personal experience of living with photographer Dick Blau for over twenty years, as well as his art photographs of the people in their lives. Gallop's nuanced meditation explores the complexities of visuality and daily life, examining intimate moments both dramatic and routine. She draws on a range of critical texts to inform her reflections, including Roland Barthes's Camera Lucida and Susan Sontag's On Photography. This book presents a portrait of a couple whose professional activity is deeply intertwined with their private lives, offering a thought-provoking exploration of the intersections between art, family, and everyday life.
