TUNED OUT: Some Thoughts on Disempowerment

IMAGE: A young woman covering her eyes in front of a camera

Satoru:  Isn't this the way most students see the world – with eyes covered?

Liao:    (feigning interest) Why the exegesis? A photo is simply a photo.

Satoru:  It's not that simple. First of all, this is no simple photo . . . 
         it's a digital manipulation.

Melissa: And what about the person being photographed? Can you imagine how 
         she feels? So often cameras are intrusive.

Tim:     Indeed, many photographers commit a sort of 'pixel-rape'.

Liao:    (shrugging his shoulders) Many do not even realize what they are 
         doing: their awareness is just on their lens.
