Response to "Rosler after Thought"

In the reading Rosler starts off with of ton of photos that portray a lot of poor people or ads about alcohol and such, which includes little stories underneath. He talks about photography and how it was used to sort of change how we view issues and to give charity by the affect of the photo. Next, he goes into documentary forms of photography through the 20th century addressing the second world war and Vietnam causing me to want to use my documentary to make change. I like how he informed us how we use the photo tool to help the misfortune by showing the fortunate, hoping to get a donation or something. However, he goes into the different affects or consequences of it and how it might be done, bring up how others may view it. Then, he brings up metaphorical stuff and Bowery's of which i don't understand.
