photographic knowledge



Photographs show you the thinness of reality. For even though there is a lot that the photograph does not capture there is enough to convince us of the similarity, of the correspondence. Yet this is not the important part of the photograph. The significant part is how we are with the image, and everything that the photograph contains and shows us with our consent but is not of the material world is its spirituality; in that sense photography is the act of recording the spiritual. But the greatness of photography is finding the spiritual and the physical together.
