Sometimes it's hard not to think of photography as an act of aggression. You're stopping people from the flow of their lives, you're cropping them from the space in which they live and have their meaning, you're juxtaposing them to something they didn't know they were next to. You're objectifying them according to your terms, not theirs - for who would choose to be objectified? It's very complicated, but the fact is, most photographs reduce us. It's very easy to photograph a man and then later say, "This man represents the homeless." Too easy.
