Woman Waiting to Take a Photograph response

In the short essay by David Eggers, the author’s perspective on the woman photographer is very poignant. The vignette take place when the woman just got off work from her book publishing company, she is sitting in a car at a poor neighborhood, trying to catch some trenchant pictures about underclass people. The text distinctively implied that, photographers sometime take very little time to get to know the subject they choose to take the photograph with. The author uses “for hypocrisy and the exploitation of the underclass”, to show that the woman instead of getting to know what is really happening in the underclass people’s life, she comes to the place far across the street, and shoot picture from a distance. Pretending she have a good eye for the injustice of life. The word “Go-Gatters” show up a few times in this short text, first it introduced us the place where she choose to take pictures. The author told us how she feels about the name, “ finds it interesting, “because it is clear that the customers of the market are anything but”.  In the last time “Go-Getters” appears is when the author sarcastically tells us how people will see her artworks. The final sentence to me feels like the most interesting sentence of the whole essay. The final sentence put the whole essay into one whole piece,  it indicates how the author feels about the hypocritical behavior of the woman photographer.  The new idea on the last sentence surprise me, of how the author sees the artwork from his point of view. I think what the author trying to say was that, artist should really get to know their art subject, not from a distance, but from close up. Knowing and feeling the subject is the only way to not be hypocritical about the work you make.
