I don't know how many others here once read Errol Morris's columns. They were meditations on how we look; reflections on how art shapes our world; long form journeys through the preconceptions underlying our approach to what stays in the picture, and what's left out.

In a better world, @A_Jay_Adler's work might have an audience such as Morris's.

His latest reflection, on the selectivity of "knowing" through photographic record, certainly belongs to that tier of insight. https://open.substack.com/pub/ajayadler/p/a-terrible-honesty
