OT: Priceless thinking at the BBC |
Priceless thinking at the BBC

Photography shapes our world - and our perception of it. Think of the
Vietnam war and what comes unbidden into your mind? Here's my guess:
that photograph of the naked little girl running in terror after a
napalm attack. Marilyn Monroe? That wonderful picture of her standing
over a ventilator outlet with her skirt swirling up. The liberation of
France? Henri Cartier-Bresson's shot of a woman collaborator being
denounced in the street. And so it goes: we think in images. And many,
if not most of them, are still provided by photography.
But then ask yourself: what if, when the technology was being invented,
the law had required that before you took a photograph of anyone or
anything, you had to ask permission? Imagine how restricted photography
- both as reportage and art - would have been. And how impoverished our
culture as a result.

It's a nice idea, but will be a while coming yet, not least because
the BBC is still recruiting for some key roles.
