This made me wonder (although the article nails my point) why Stryker hasn't actually killed all those punched photographs. I even went down the loc.gov rabbit hole (I am still there).

> encyclopedic ambitions

Does that phrase even make sense?

I stopped reading at that point.

retrac•1w ago

ambitions of encyclopedic scope, something like "hoping to cover all the domains of knowledge"; in the context of a photographer, to photograph everything worth photographing

kayo_20211030•1w ago

I get where you're coming from, but "encyclopedic" has a pretty specific definition, and it doesn't twin with "ambition" in any sensible way. It seems like it should, but it doesn't. I'm commenting on the poor writing. Maybe "grand ambitions", or "colossal ambitions"? "encyclopedic ambitions" just doesn't work, unless we're going with vibe-writing :-)
