Subject: [Leica] OT: Was this photo posed? A long fascinating essay...

...by Errol Morris on the NYT blog.

I greatly enjoyed this long (think New Yorker length) series of three
essays that are published on the NYT blog pages.

They concern a pair of photographs made during the Crimea War by Henry
Fenton and were part of a discussion by Susan Sontag about the
photographer manipulating the photographic scene.

You might find it worth reading. I know I did:
