Capture the Moment: On the uses and misuses of photojournalism. “This may be a useful time to reconsider our relationship to

photojournalism. For it is a relationship that is increasingly disturbed

and yet absolutely key to our understanding of, and bewilderment

about, the world outside our selves (and possibly, therefore, about our

inner selves as well). In our image-glutted culture, our connection to

photographs—and especially to those that record atrocities, wars,

and other manmade disasters—resembles a bad but inescapable

marriage in which one unhappy partner distrusts yet depends upon

the other. (As in so many unhappy marriages, there is a convenient

third party—in this case, the exploitative photojournalist—to blame.)” Boston Review
