Photographs are photographs are photographs. The don't show the reality. And for various reasons.

Great video as usual.

This comment has been written at the moment i stopped the video having listened to your introduction. At this point, I have not watched the rest of the video. I just wanted to say, immediately, that i agree with you 100%. Now, back to the show.

Good work, thank you, and i especially enjoyed the shutter sound at the end. The old saying - 'The camera never lies' - has its own specific truth. That truth is dependent on the understanding that the photograph is itself a reality *in its own right*, and not some other reality that is magically encapsulated within the photograph. I particularly liked the dune image. I have an affinity with compositions that introduce uncertainty in the viewers mind, or that are ambiguous. Images that give pause to wonder just where i am located to see this - on my hands and knees? or low-Earth orbit? Now - a favour to ask of you: on the Philosophy of Photography, are there any particular works that you would recommend that i'm likely to find in an English translation? I believe that HCB wrote one, but i've been unable to find it.... Cheers and all the best from NZ.
