In this lesson we talked about the DVD we watched yesterday, not that we have a lot of work to discuss today.
we discussed:
that photography is a democratic medium.
Photography, Is it art, or is it not art?
that photography is indexical.
and that when reading text we need to establish when it was written, and the language of the time.
we also spoke about the hand outs that we were given last lesson, "photography and australia" - Helen Ennis, "Daguerrotype" - Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre & "Contemporary thoughts on the history of photography" - Grant B.Romer.
we were encoraged to purchase the book "Looking at photographs – Gordon Baldwin"
not a very big class today as it is the 1st lesson we have had.
