This article begins with a seemingly all-encompassing take on the meaning of looking. The writer explains how the sight of a visual as well as written text merely represent an object but are not yet the object, how visuals are both subjective and objective. The article is a theoretical look on what it means to take a photograph or create and image, be it documentary or not, and how all images are constructed even without intention. I think the title of this article, "Practices of Looking: Images, Power and Politics", provides the best explanation of what the article aims to express, that all sight and depictions of sight in the form of visuals influence and comment on life and the world at large.
