On one count, and one count only, Goldsmith, while not entirely wrong, is far too bombastic for my taste. The camera does not lie, the camera is the photographer’s tool for re-presenting that which conforms to the vision to his or her vision. Much like memos that bear the slogan, From the Desk of…, (I cannot think of a time when a desk wrote a memo) placing blame on the camera is a bit much.

Before photography there was only memory to make impressions on one’s mind. There was the place and, if one was fortunate enough to see such a place, there was a trace left behind of a continuum of exposure to the infinitely brief moment that began to fade only moments after it was imprinted somewhere in one’s mind. Existence is brief and one’s exposure to existence is even briefer. What appears as a lifetime is a series of trace impressions, some stronger than others and some that simply disappear. |
