To Photograph Is to Learn How to Die Book

Tim Carpenter explores why photography matters—deeply. Drawing on poets, artists, and thinkers like Wallace Stevens and Marilynne Robinson, this Brooklyn photographer argues that the camera does something no other art form can: it helps us face mortality, bridge the gap between self and world, and find meaning in the everyday.

Printed in three colors that echo the book's multiple voices, the design invites you to read however you like. Whether you're a photographer seeking philosophy or simply curious about what a camera can teach us, this is both a timely argument and a resource you'll return to.
