The real secrets are within us. In posing the problems we encounter dealing with this type of photograph, we end up confronting Gaugin's questions: Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?<BR/><BR/>"It is photons bouncing o ff the paper and hitting your retina while<BR/>you read this essay that make this sentence be part of your past."<BR/><BR/> [Fotini Markopolou]<BR/><BR/> And so photographs, whether our own or not, likewise become part of our past.<BR/><BR/>--- LuisLuishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14942782882001678270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38446021.post-88525386219172924502009-02-02T08:56:00.000-07:002009-02-02T08:56:00.000-07:00I do have to agree with Tim Atherton about the exc...I do have to agree with Tim Atherton about the excitement of coming across an undiscovered or overlooked pile of photographs, whether they be of one’s own making or just someone else’s photographs. All of a sudden, there is something new to figure out, something new to analyze, something new to research, tear apart, bit by bit, figuring out every new detail.<BR/>Old photographs certainly allow viewers, or historians or collectors or what have you, to figure something out about the past that they did not previously know. Whether it be about the area around them and how it’s changed, or about someone or a group of people they didn’t previously know about. Old photographs that haven’t been seen before by a single individual is much like receiving the first brand new copy of a history book.<BR/>It’s just that. It’s fun. It’s exciting. It let’s us figure things out about the past that we didn’t previously know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38446021.post-88872301577982995222009-02-01T10:18:00.000-07:002009-02-01T10:18:00.000-07:00Yup, absolutely amazing what indelible secrets som...Yup, absolutely amazing what indelible secrets some of those old relics have captured and retained for time travelers such as ourselves.Stan B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17381743002180926900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38446021.post-52610544606456936302009-01-31T05:41:00.000-07:002009-01-31T05:41:00.000-07:00where do you work?
