Journal Article
Does the disaster want to be photographed? Reconsidering the camera's presence at Ground Zero
2011
Overview
According to Sontag, as an instrument of \"non-intervention,\" the camera effectively removes its operator intellectually and emotionally from the reality before the lens, a dynamic that becomes especially disconcerting in the face of human suffering. [...] as the sequence of images that produced Richard Drew's famous Falling Man photograph (2001) confirm, in the context of disaster the singular snapshot is often replaced by \"coverage,\" a practice of incessantly photographing for fear that one might miss the pivotal moment within a monumental event.
