When you make a picture does energy flow from your mind, thru your camera, around the subject and back to the image sensor? I dont think so, but is it like you are documenting small(very small) segments of time passed through your day? Im not sure, but are we reproducing the world or creating an image of how we react to what we see, or how we think the world should look, Maybe not. When I look at images I made last year, am I brought back to the temperature and smell of that moment? No, but that would be cool. When you print a picture is it more real than a file on your computer? Is it more or less vulnerable or valuable? Im glad no one ever reads these stupid journals because they dont mean anything.
