Documenting our Landscape

Photography is an art that captures an instant of temporality on the pretense that one is capturing what is real, what is there when, in fact, what the photographic image re-presents as a finished image is the photographer’s impression of what was present at the moment of shutter release (rather at the moment the photographer decides to release the shutter as there is a delay of, perhaps, a millisecond from the moment of decision to the pushing of the finger) and nothing more. What is apparent in the photograph is never the reality of the existential moment.
