One must keep the verbiage in context, as you quoted it, not consider the 
phrase in its absolute sense.  Photography isn't necessarily the key to 
eternal life, merely too much for Ms. Sontag to reduce to the stereotypical 
model she portrays.  The sentiment on the LUG seems to be that if there is 
photo-bashing to be done, please leave it to photographers.
