Chapter two of criticizing photography describes how critics describe images. It is broken down into form, medium and, style. but to be frank i have had a hard time making it through this book. The book just gives list of names of artist and critics. The is a message in there but it is hidden between several pages of drawn out examples. but what I have gained from this chapter is describing facts about a work is very important. and that as an artist if i have work on display I need to be very clean about what my goal for the work was. if i go out to the mid west with the goal of photographing the locals in there environment but put them in front of a back drop my goals are not truly met.
