Definitely some food for thought in the essay "The Documentary Debate." I keep going back to his debate over the "aestheticization of photography" and find a lot of merit there with regards to how we capture and how people respond to images. I also keep turning over the phrase "elevating the messenger and not the message" in my head, and agree that we tend to fetishize and prop up certain photographers and make the work about them, rather than the people in the photographs.
Great, but slightly dated, read for any photographer who is ready to philosophize about the whys of photography.
