And why from you, who constantly work on joining the two?<BR/><BR/>I see a point that someone could make, namely that photography has more of perceived reality than any other art, but I still can't figure out why exactly you would make this point. "Hulp!", would my fried Ted say :)<BR/><BR/>AndreasAndreashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15992874945092411553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34175158.post-70570462088251231962007-11-07T10:52:00.000-05:002007-11-07T10:52:00.000-05:00What is in a title or caption but a glimpse of wha...What is in a title or caption but a glimpse of what the creator of the piece wants us to see?<BR/><BR/>The problem is it's just a glimpse. I see them as being sometimes akin to popping on a light for second in a darkened room, but more often like shining a flashlight, for just a moment, into a dusty corner. In other words, titles rarely contain the whole story, as there is almost always more mcmurmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404279104269917386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34175158.post-65882160894340799292007-11-05T15:09:00.000-05:002007-11-05T15:09:00.000-05:00(Andreas) Nope, you got my point and we seem to co...(Andreas) Nope, you got my point and we seem to come to different conclusions about a part of it. <BR/><BR/>1. We seem to agree that defninitions through say cpations - are slippery and that the image can mean different things to different people.<BR/>2. I argue this is, if not uniquely a phenomenon of photography, much more strongly one.

All art.<BR/><BR/>Some people are more visually oriented, some are not, and non-verbal arts are very likely more prone to it, but essentially it is in all arts.
