This is my used copy of Susan Sontag’s On Photography, picked up from Powell’s​ Bookstore in Portland when we still lived in Seattle. There have been moments when the amount of writing and symbols in this copy have annoyed me. But more often than not, I find myself captivated by the these additions—perhaps genius or crazy—and I can’t help but wonder about the previous owner. I’ve since found copies in better condition, but this one has a story that I don’t want to part with.
