Of course, the ramblings about Bruce Gilden’s two-day stint in the Apalachian goes on and on: Allen Murabayashi from Photoshelter chimes in with her own piece on Bruce Gilden & the Absence of Empathy, where she again blames him for being superficial and not showing “the whole picture”.

There is also this long rant by Chuck Jines, in which he describes how he almost got into a fight with some black activists while he was taking photos at a demonstration in Ferguson. No Idea, what to make of all this: Let’s just leave it at that: There are a lot of strange ducks, both before and behind the camera.

Truth is a shaky concept, and if it get’s mixed up with morals, things get even more muddy. I sometimes wonder how photographers can be so naive. Just as if they have been hiding under a stone the last two hundred years and just now arrived with a fresh and happy view on a world they think they can change with a picture. And without a doubt, that it is actually the world we carry around in our little boxes, after we shut it in with a press of the finger. The indian, who did not want his photo taken because he was afraid that the photographer will stole his soul – he was probably right. And Bruce Gilden probably couldn’t care less.
