Agree - interesting story Mike. I wonder a bit at the emphasis on the
photographer though. The editor certainly bears some responsibility
in making his/her choice of what image to use. The point of the story
seems to question a photographer's freedom to provide some artistic
interpretation of reality, opting instead for a narrower straight
forward representation of the portrait subject. As though there were
only one reality. Whereas there are in fact many realities, ranging
from the subjects' many self-images to the public's understanding of
the subjects to the editors or photographers understanding of who the
person is. Why should the photographer be the fall guy? It should be
the bill payer (subject or editor) who determines which reality
should be portrayed. IMHO.

There is a link to a slide show that illustrates the

Some might find it interesting.
