Reading 2 Quotes and Summary

 

1.      ‘’Photographs really are experience captured and the camera is the ideal arm of consciousness in its acquisitive mood’’

 

I think this quote was interesting because it is true and the message I think the quote is trying to give is how important pictures really are, because it can document a memory and allow people to have access to those feelings attached to that memory forever. I also think the quote was also trying to point out the level of creativity and things a artist or creator can do with a camera is endless.

 

2.      ‘’The most grandiose result of the photographic enterprise is to give us the sense that we can hold the whole world in our hands’’

 

I think this quote is trying to shine light on how powerful an influence pictures and photographs have on people in terms of perspective. Pictures and videos attract people because it can make them feel like they are there or if they were there it can give them memories and take them back in time metaphorically. So in a sense it makes the audience feel ‘’like the world is in their hands’’.
