Camera Lucida: Reflections on Photography
At the beginning of reading the author writing style was unclear in my opinion (mainly on excerpts 1). In addition, in excerpt 1 I don’t enjoy the viewpoint about photograph being signs, which related to ads and billboards that came across in my mind. Since, the author’s photography viewpoint seems really negative because in our society photography ads and billboards sent out negative messages, but other photography ads and billboards just fine. In excerpts 2, I agree that photographer needs theme(s) such as Camera Lucida principle of adventure to fuels her photography like when I’m taking a photo my theme is discovery, uncovering the shot makes an interesting photograph similar to Camera Lucide. Lastly excerpts 3, the mother’s death set a very interesting point about photography; it could capture a person’s beautiful, kindness, innocence, etc, but not the true person that people see in really life such as the photo of Lucida’s mother. Overall, Camera Lucida’s was a semi-good read with suggestions to keeping an accessible dictionary near you.
