The New York Times has aan interesting review of an exhibit of the work of photojournalist Sebastiao Salgado, titled Can Suffering Be Too Beautiful?.
"Beautification of tragedy results in pictures that ultimately reinforce our passivity toward the experience they reveal," Ms. Sischy argued years ago. If that were true, then the whole history of Christian art would be a practical failure. But she is on to something.

Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
