Visu 1311: Creativity Blog #1

The article, “The Photograph” by Flusser Vilem discusses the technicality of the camera as well as the relationship between the photographer and camera. When it comes to the format in which photographs are created, the author first discusses black and white and how it doesn’t exist. From what I read, Vilem mainly talks about the whole process being theoretical. Many of his points about black and white/color were interesting and the idea that no matter what, the camera is going to capture what it wants to. It’s up to the photographer to work with it and create something his or her own. While reading some parts of the article, I did get lost and not understand what was being said completely. The discussion in class helped me figure out what exactly the article was referring to in some instances. Overall it is an interesting piece that made me appreciate what happens between a camera and a photographer even more.
