Depending on your angle of approach, photography creates memory. Memory depends on photography, whether it is a mental image or a physical print, whereas photography only depends on your intent. Documenting, as an art like Cartier Bresson, expressing his view without altering reality, maybe merely just cropping out the parts that don't belong to his original thought process, or Creating, Composing, like the pieces you create using technology and alternative mediums. This is an intriguing question, and I'll have to come up with an answer for myself. This could be a thesis in itself! @lexi: 100 years from now, photography will exist, because some of us out there want to preserve the essence of this method of capture. In my opinion a still image is far more powerful than a moving image or any type of scary implants that may come up. @marc: There is a paradox here.

And with new posts even, very good! One of the things I love about photography is that reality is necessary because it means that something did exist a form of proof, and you know how I love my proof. I love that if it says nothing else it says that the thing existed and I was there to photograph it. I'm not sure what it would mean to photograph from memory, I know what it would mean to photograph because of memory. Those aren't the same things though... 100 years from now photography wont exist at all, videos will be made through inter-retinal-devices and if you want a still from that you just take one. But every moment of every day will be recorded through this device implanted in your brain at birth. It's not only a way to replace memory but also a form of governmental control. It is pretty scary, that's why I came back to good old 2008. I’m so glad to see you back up!!! And with new posts even, very good!
