Finding an Angle in Every Shot
"Was 'Victory' blurred because the photographers intended to subvert the administration's efforts to craft a message?"
"Are photographers too easily complicit in the crafting of these pictures?"
"Does the natural quest for beauty by photographers make them unwitting propagandists?"
The Washington Post ran an interesting column about political photos and their "hidden intent, deception and propaganda." In my opinion, Philip Kennicott is reading way too much into these photos, as far as the meaning behind text in photos, why its out of focus, and why something in them might be obscured.
