What Does Duane Michals Do?
He takes photographs of Gay people because although he is not Gay he takes photographs of gay people because of his notion of the artists relationship to power and politics although duane thinks that aspirations are useless.

"I feel the political aspirations are impotent. They can never be seen. If they are, it will only be by a limited audience. If one is to act politically, one simply puts down the camera and goes out and does something. I think of someone like Hartfeld who ridiculed the Nazis. Who very creatively took great stands. He could have been killed at any moment, he was Jewish, and my God what the guy did. It was extraordinary. You don’t see that now" - Duane Michals
