Just to say, I'm a little unsure about this. Seems very negative about photography. Some valid points, but we've gone in a few paragraphs from it being aggressive to non-interventionist to voyeuristic and the sexual metaphors that arise from it. So, which is it? I think photography can be all these things (though beyond the obvious if voyeurism, a bit of a stretch with the metaphors). Will she defend it at all?

"What is written about a person or an event is frankly an interpretation, as are...paintings and drawings. Photographed images do not seem to be statements about the world so much as pieces of it, miniatures of reality that anyone can make or acquire." This statement isn't entirely true and, I think, said ironically; but I think with the introduction of AI, society is only catching up to that irony.
