I love these quotes and your thoughts on the implications of photography! Fascinating! I will come back to reread - there is so much wisdom. My favorite quote so far is: "The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something, and tell what it saw in a plain way... To see clearly is poetry, prophecy, and religion—all in one."
Very cool! I too have long been interested in the implications of photography, and especially lately, as we confront so much digitization, machine learning, AI, etc. You've done a great job bringing a lot together. Thank you.
That's exactly what got me so interested in these questions. It seemed to me that the seeds of all that is so new about AI images can somehow be traced back to photography. And yet photography is so much a part of our lives that we hardly think to ask about the ways it has changed how we see the world.

That's one of my favorites too! Thank you for reading!
