...most striking thing illustrated by the show is how far behind photography???meaning the photographs Szarkowski designates as "serious"?has left its old role as witness to public events. Not one picture in the exhibition, except for an exquisitely formal-looking image of a fire in Minneapolis by Irwin B. Klein, looks in any way like a news photo. This must seem strange at first, since the past 20 years have been the most photographed in history. Everything that happened, one might suppose, happened before a camera; there has never been anything like the sheer bulk of visual documentation...
