The Distance of Photography - No Caption Needed (Wed 29 Oct 2014)

A Distant Shore - Cirkewwa / Malta (Tue 23 Sep 2014)

Hariman (*) writes about Photographs (*) and Distance (*):
Photographs are valued because of how they can bring distant views close at hand, and they are faulted for introducing unnecessary distance between the viewer and reality itself.
via What Is Near and Far in the Geography of an Image? (*) by No Caption Needed (*).

Hard to believe we were there (*) just on a month ago. So different, yet I felt so comfortable and at ease. So far, yet so near through the power of a photograph.

On Photography - No Caption Needed (Mon 20 Oct 2014)

Untitled - Paris (Thu 18 Sep 2014)

Lucaites (*) writes on Photography (*):
Any photograph is both more or less a record of what has happened, and more or less an artistically enhanced experience, both more or less empirical, and more or less interpretive, both more or less accurate, and more or less suggestive. The point here is that photographs –whether analogue or digital—operate in the interspace between reality and imagination. The camera records the surface of the world like no other instrument, but the truth of what is shown can be realized only through an act of imagination. Stated otherwise, the photograph is inherently not reducible to a simplistic realism, but is instead a heterogeneous object where different sources of meaning intersect, and the intersections are lodged in the formal design and explored through interpretation.

Might have to read this a few times.
