Imagine Walker Evans and Nan Goldin rolled together on your computer screen. In the 1930's and 40's Evans secretly photographed anonymous people on the New York City subways. The result was a book titled "Many Are Called." In the 1980's Nan Goldin turned her camera on herself and her friends, spilling the intimate details of her life to complete strangers. She described the resulting book, "The Ballad of Sexual Dependency," as "a diary I let people read." Now thousands of people get onto the Internet everyday to post their photographs, hoping that total strangers will come look at them and comment. They are photo bloggers.
