“…pictures now only mean what the person using them wants them to mean. The fact that a picture might have come from somewhere – say the Smithsonian – before being used, or that it will go elsewhere afterwards, is not the point. It is what it is because somebody uses it to be that. That is an anti-cultural phenomenon if you understand culture as being the valuing of those accretions of meaning and of heredity.”
