'All images, regardless of the date of their creation, exist
simultaneously and are pressed into service to help us make sense of
other images. This suggests a possible approach to photography
criticism: a river of interconnected images wordlessly but fluently
commenting on one another.'
'A photograph can’t help taming what it shows. We are accustomed to
speaking about photographs as though they were identical to their
subject matter. But photographs are also pictures — organized
forms on a two-dimensional surface — and they are part of the history of
pictures. A picture of something terrible will always be caught between
two worlds: the world of “something terrible,” which might shock us or
move us to a moral response, and the world of “a picture,” which
generates an aesthetic response. The dazzle of art and the bitterness of
life are yoked to each other. There is no escape.'
