Reality and Representation



In todays lecture I learnt many things about 'What is Photography'


* It's about constructing reality
* It provides a mirror to the world
* It's about transformation of the state energy to another state of energy 
Personally, Photography is about viewing the world through your eyes/lens but as stated in todays lecture a Photograph does not provide a transparent window to the world and it does not guarantee 'truth' - it may resemble and evidence it but it is not the truth of reality.

  • What if two people understand the same image in different ways - This is all based upon their background, beliefs and appreciation of art.
