It's no substitute for a proper video camera though :-)Linhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02276948718081506756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583752848944945354.post-14206614158919397912008-10-03T12:51:00.000-07:002008-10-03T12:51:00.000-07:00Very moving photographs.Linhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02276948718081506756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583752848944945354.post-6127425749546107342008-10-01T07:52:00.000-07:002008-10-01T07:52:00.000-07:00JimmyD, Once again, I am thoroughly enjoyed your article.

Yeah, I knew it was a manipulated image. I probly should have mentioned manipulated images, along with photos in general, as having a powerful impact on people and, potentially, on a presidential election. I DL'd the fake Palin image from trendhunter.com, an online ezine whose editors may or may not realize the image is a fake.<BR/><BR/>Jill Greenberg's site is called manipulator.com. I think that says it all. That's fairly telling, don't ya think? I've been to snopes before but thanks for the link.

The reasons why folks like you and I are so captivated by old photos might be as different as the visual contents of the photos themselves. For me, it's about glimpsing the past through a time-machine-like window, courtesy of the photographic processes and those who wielded the cameras. <BR/><BR/>I've often viewed paintings of historical events and wish that a camera could have captured the event or moment. It's not that photography is a pure and accurate representation of an event--the photographer has a point-of-view, after all, and it is recorded along with the image--but, it seems to me, a photo would more accurately depict the event than and artist's brush. It's a closer feeling of actually "being there."jimmydhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04250574229270573468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583752848944945354.post-54830021312387458072008-09-02T14:16:00.000-07:002008-09-02T14:16:00.000-07:00Question for you Jimmy ... why do so many people (myself included) find old pictures like these so captivating to look at? They didn't have fancy digital cameras, light meters, fancy foldable reflectors to bounce light or high grade film, yet the pictures stand out. Any comments on why that is so? Was the photographer that good? Is it the composition or the use of the lighting or what?<BR/><BR/>EJBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
