As images and video become a predominant tool of communication, it's often easy to let eyes glaze and live the old "1000 words" cliché. And as more and more "content creators" (rightfully) flood the internet, it can be difficult to keep up with significant photography and criticism. We Humble editors have been overwhelmed by the smart writing on photography this past year, from "a single paragraph on a single photograph" pieces to essays that unpack race and cultural construction in pictures, to in-depth interviews with accomplished but often under-recognized figures.
While we could likely populate this list with more than 100 stellar pieces of writing on photography, below are twelve of our favorites, in no particular order. If we're missing any that stood out for you, drop us a note in the comments.
