While reading this article, my mind was opened to the question, "What is a Photograph?" This article talks about photographs and how there is "no easily identifiable subject, no clear representational form" of a photograph." This article made me think about the progress made over the years with technology. However, I'm not sure if I really feel it is progress all of the time. People went from having to have photos based on facts and photos of only things that could be captured, to using photoshop, which causes people to think that the constructed photos are actually our reality when they are not. Photos used to have a deeper meaning that would help people express thing that they cannot explain with words . Photography was a positive outlet to use to ask yourself questions and eventually come to an answer. There are still people who use photography like that still, however, there has been an overflow of photos where most are bad, selfies, or constructed. Photographs seems to be losing there emotional value, in my opinion. However, I never would have realized any of this, if it had not been for this article opening my eyes about the art world around me.
