Why publish Obama photograph?

Print Article

In the Jan. 22 issue (News Digest), the photograph of Senator Obama in the lower right-hand corner of page 7 was the only example of Benjamin J. Meyers’ photographs printed on 16x21-inch aluminum sheets to give the image a silver finish. If a reader doesn’t connect the photo with Myers’ work, the picture and information below it hint political support. Was that intended?

Associate editor’s note: The photo was the only example provided with the news release about Meyers’ work. No political message was intended.
