I’m currently on holiday in Greece reading Debbie Harry’s autobiography, where she refers to photography as “the all-seeing eye.” This recalled Mick Rock’s similar description in a previous post, where he talks about photography as the “all-pervasive beast.” For me, the image conjures up sinister connotations from Tolkien and the eye of Sauron. A kind of unwanted surveillance that is menacing, invasive, and inescapable.
