Status Updates From On Photography

"What is written about a person or an event is frankly an interpretation, as are...paintings and drawings. Photographed images do not seem to be statements about the world so much as pieces of it, miniatures of reality that anyone can make or acquire." This statement isn't entirely true and, I think, said ironically; but I think with the introduction of AI, society is only catching up to that irony.

I’m still figure out what that means

o surrealismo encontra-se no cerne da atividade fotográfica: na criação de m duplicado do mundo, de uma realidade em segundo grau, mais limitada mas mais dramãtica do que aquela que a nossa visão natural permite perceber. O surrealismo sempre procurou os acidentes, recebeu bem os imprevistos e adulou as presenças perturbadoras.
