On the next Your Call we'll talk about photography as social commentary. The Time Magazine cover portrait of an Afghan girl with a mutilated face has been controversial -- especially paired with its caption. How do photographs enhance, alter, or manipulate the "news"? Or vice versa? Do photographs carry more inherent "truth" than words or can they also be spun? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. If you enjoy photography for art, do you also see it as social commentary? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
