Teddy Blanks: Errol Morris's Problem With Photography

Por -
Imagem
Still from Abu Ghraib reenactment scene, Standard Operating Procedure , 2008 In Sontag & Kael: Opposites Attract Me , Craig Seligman writes of Susan Sontag and her collection On Photography : "She's profoundly troubled by certain ethical and aesthetic issues arising from the mechanical nature of the medium, such that a more accurate title for the book might be On Some Problems in Photography ." I mention this quip because I was reminded of it last week, as I sat nervously in the tiny "Cinémathèque" at Brandeis University in Boston after a screening of Errol Morris's new documentary, Standard Operating Procedure. During the Q&A session following the film, which is comprised partly of interviews with five of the "seven bad apples" who were prosecuted in connection with the famous photos taken of the abuses afflicted on prisoners at Abu Ghraib, Morris said that one of his chief reasons for beginning the project was to explore "some ...

I am registered on Listserve.com , so every single day I receive an email from a "John / Jane Doe". Today, I got the message you can read below and I felt it was interesting to share it here. I have to be honest. I think this is a great concept and I'm glad that it got such a great reception. I am really happy to have been chosen but to be honest I'm not particularly well spoken.

Another message from The Listserve

Hi, everyone! This is another email I got via The Listserve . I found it very inspiring and true to the purpose of life, so I asked to share it here. Paul was very kind and let me share his words with all of you :) Happy New Year! "I have two young sons, aged 2 and 4 and before they were born I started to make a list of things they might find useful as they grew up. I keep adding to it, but thought I'd share a few to my fellow listservers. You won't find any 'live as if every day is your last' or 'follow your dreams' because for me they don't add anything. If anyone has others to add, then email me and I'll send then all I receive to those who submitted! 1. If you ever get bored, just open your eyes: This is a great reminder for me that we normally stumble around the world on automatic mode, missing so much around us. It's a reminder to stop now and then, especially when bored, to look around and try to see things that you may have not s...
