annotated bibliography : topic

I am considering researching truth and photography.. since it ties in to a lot of points I made in my previous papers and because it is a highly controversial topic with many people who feel strongly about their opinions . I also believe it ties nicly into my art major and my past experiences at the same time
why is it that only recently have started to doubt photography? especially since there has always been manipulation in photos, we have we only recently doubted the validity of photography? and how has this effected the artistic approach to photography? how can we approach photography in this digitized age?

my essay

As always I am worried about my punctuation, and I know the essay still requires work in that aspect.
as for content I hope I wasn't too harsh in my reaction, I didn't agree with him in any way, but that reflects how I really felt about his article.
I also am confused about the title; were we supposed to simply name it (reaction to such and such) or were we supposed to come up with a title?
I also am a little bit concerned about my use of questions through- out the essay and if it works
I hope i was able to justly communicate my thoughts on the matter.

choice of article

link
I choose this article because it fulfills the assignment requirements, I found other articles that i would have probably preferred to write reaction paper about... but the assignment wasn't to find an interesting article but to find an article that involved bot your major and technology....and so in the end I picked my article because first of all it was the most(correct article) and secondly because of my reaction to it. I believe the reason that I kept slipping into unrelvent articales is that the tie between technology and art is not very strong in my mind. and i believe forcing my self to read the articles i didnt want to was a very beneficial exercise.

being an art major, censorship is a big issue...being from Syria censorship is an even bigger issue....I feel this article is very related to my major, and my personal experiences

"Tired of political correctness" is what the author states. Any article with such a statement would make a good response essay add to the equation that it is about censorship in the arts

photography in Iraq a war torn country is also a matter of interest to me,espesially since its told through an individual experience of a photographer although the article may be too short to provide sufficient information for a reaction essay

Education

as I go through the articales on the database i am struck once and again by one thing...the beauty of education....
every time i try to find articles that will offend me ...(for once i want such articles for my reaction essay) I stumble across articles that strangely...don't !!
and almost everything on the net offends me these days, simply because of how full of myths, misunderstandings..and sometimes straight out lies...
but looking through articles written by the educated..is a whole different experience , even when i decided to really push it and searched for femininity and Islam (people think these two terms to be oxymoron's while the truth is i am as strong a feminist as they come only surpassed y my mother) and i was expecting to be attacked by articles about poor suppressed women i come up with this

database search results

photography in the age of falsification Kenneth Brower
I found this article to be very interesting more so because of its date of publication, it reflects a lot of ideas that i feel very strongly about and talked about in my first essay, but its publication in 1998 completely threw me because to me it felt so relevant, and yet when it describes the process of digitally editing a photograph you suddenly notice the difference in techniques between then and now.it brought to mind the question: what has changed in the last 12 years regarding photography falsification?and because it interested me so much i feel like i could possibly use it for my reaction essay.
photographic truth —Aphrodite Désirée Navab
i found this article to be very informative in regards to the subject i am hoping to pursue in my reaction essay although it didn't excite me it did give ma a huge bulk of information about the topic and i believe i could use it for my reaction essay, so that i show how i felt and reacted to learning certain things in this essay about photographic truth like "Technological Determinism" a concept I had never heard of before but found to very interesting.
