Photography as digital storytelling #ds106
What is photography?
sharing perspective in and through space and time
stopping time. and sharing that frame of reference.
cheap. fast. out of control.
easy. mobile. personal. pervasive.
social
amateur vs. pro (fun vs. work?)
relationship between photographer and subject
- susan sontag's On Photography essays (applying feminist theory to understand power imposed by camera)
- tao of photography
documentary vs. art (how do you define "art"?) photos of same(ish) subject over time eg. bow river valley
technofetishism - really easy to get distracted by focus on gear rather than photography
immerse yourself in photography. Lots of it.
