#22I hope nobody thinks these shots are somewhat representative of the country, even when they were taken(70's and 80's). At first glance I thought they were taken in the early 60's at most. (Yeah, I know the "hidden" it's in the title itself and should warn about generalizing what's being shown, but still).
When you have Magnum photographers go to a place, they are not looking for the ordinary in the ordinary, but the extraordinary in the ordinary to create a sort of juxta. It's a bit exaggerated, a bit voyeuristic, in a minor sense exploitative.
Therefore, many of these commissions will end up not with representative photographs (as one might get from vernacular snapshots) but with images which show the more unusual shots, or the ordinary framed to be poignant. That's what these people get paid for.

inability to right-click+save some how protects their work? Photographers achieve success not due to successful prevention of users from downloading images they've made available on the internet. Skills, marketing, client-base, luck, are things that determine whether photographers are successful.
>inability to right-click+save some how protects their work? There was a time, not long ago, when photographers (and apparently some courts) thought this would keep people from appropriating work without permission. In the end, it's a very minor inconvenience that can be easily bypassed. I'm not sure why it would inspire so much ire from anyone.
You don't see why ineffective government action that fails to do the one thing it was designed to do, but inconveniences everyone else would draw so much ire?

you've failed to articulate how forcing google to disable this convenience feature contributes to photographer's bottom line.
