"The digital photograph also can be said to represent a single moment, but one that can be easily lengthened and amplified by joining it to many moments through various forms of hyperlinks and hybrid media, including extending it as a movie."
This quote is important because it shows the complexity to digital photography. It provides an example as to one of the ways that a single photograph can be manipulated into so much more than just a singular moment.
"The contradictory "double image" is cubist; reality has no single truth."
I just thought that this quote was interesting. The idea that a photo is more than just what is in the photo is interesting to me. I like the concept. Every photo can be more than what it is made of. A picture could be of an open window but really be trying to symbolize the freedom of the mind. I think that it is fascinating to think that there can so much meaning hiding in one image.
"Rather than be rendered passive and guilty from the latest shocking photograph or suffering from a terminal case of compassion fatigue, the reader could be given a chance to intervene."
I think that this quote is important because it exemplifies the advances made in technology. Technology has made photography so much easier to locate and consume. Now people can just access art online and enjoy it in their own homes. This has also left art more vulnerable to criticism by people who may or may not be educated to place judgement. Artist are also more able to share the message behind their art with these technological advances. I would say that the advances in technology come with their perks and drawbacks.
