Just heard that UofC historian of photography Joel Snyder passed away. Here's a great quote from him: "When people talk about indexicality, they generally confuse photons with objects, and they think it is objects that are necessarily indexed by photographs."

Well holy crap. Erin Brockovich (yes, the same one the led the Hinkley, CA toxic groundwater lawsuit in ‘93) launched a website tracking AI data centers across the US and the ecological impacts to the environment and drinking water. MN is riddled with them. www.brockovichdatacenter.com
