Prepare a critique of a hybrid text author/photographer. This critique should incorporate themes and criticism discussed in class, as well as key elements such as the photo’s origin, its new place of circulation, reading of the image, demands posed by the image in the text, temporal and spatial relationships inscribed in the image, ways in which the text is imagined, or is structured in its relationship to the image.
