Well, here's a puzzle and some philosophic questions in and about an article about two Roger Fenton photos in 'The Valley of Death' (1850's) with some 400+ responses so far.
My eyeballs are weary and brain flagging..
LINK to article by Errol Morris, has images
bump - I hate to see this article missed, it's soooooo good. In my opinion.
Link to part II of the Morris article --

This remains fascinating to me...
Much about the history and philosophy of photography in these three articles. Also, a little fun.
Part III -

A Slate article about Morris' articles...

more on this and how people responded about it, here (same old link; as usual, just an addition)

I won't say whether my vote was correct (the only one who voted) or my final thought on the matter or second final thought; I will say my firmest reason was different from all the rest I read in the articles.
