Taking photographs of people unawares
is intrusive, particularly if they are to be published
and used to imply a ‘point of view’ over which the subject has
no control. Used
with respect, though, pictures in which people seem to be both spontaneous
and authentic
can reveal matters of real significance to an understanding of the human condition.
It may be, however, that a tension between the moral risk and this kind of
moral purpose can give photography an edge.

To mimic the books the pictures are drawn from they will each step forwards or backwards one page. Where additional captioning exists the 'book' button should be clicked to view. For some pages a larger screen size is required to show the pictures together as intended)
