The
reading starts of describing how pictures have been taken documenting history
since 1839. Before that it is hard to know what things looked like before.
Photography has made great impacts on how the world remembers it self after
time has passed. ‘To collect photographs is to collect the world,’ is a quote
from the reading that I really liked. It made me think of our project, and
making one huge collage of the world.
Unlike drawings and paintings, photographed images aren’t statements of
the world but pieces of it. The reading also illustrates how far cameras have
come to the first daguerreotypes to present day were everyone has a camera in
their mobile phones. This reading had some interesting sentences that got me
thinking about photography.
