On Writing with Photography explores what happens to texts--and images--when they are brought together, addressing a wide range of genres and media, including graphic novels, children's books, photo-essays, films, diaries, newspapers, and art installations. Together, these essays help explain how writers and photographers--past and present--have served as powerful creative resources for each other.
