| Description | Looking back at the many discussions of photography and its apparatus, I have noticed that the character of the argument tends to change depending upon which part is being considered. The camera, which is just one part of the apparatus, is itself made up of what we may think of as three distinct parts: the lens, the shutter, and the light-sensitive surface. When the lens is the center of attention, it is usually in relation to the depiction of space and the conventions of realism determined by theories of perspective and optics. Here we are in the realm of resemblance and iconicity. When the shutter is invoked-and it is not invoked much in this book-it is in relation to time and duration. When the light-sensitive surface is invoked-it dominates in this book-it is usually in relation to the question of indexicality, contiguity, and touch. To me this seems as reasonable as it is complex. Book Name: Photography Theory |
