1. Imagery has a huge effect on our faith today. From the beginning of Christianity the human race has used imagery to explain difficult meaning. Each one of the Evangelist used many accounts of imagery. This also strengthens our faith because with imagery comes a more keen understanding. With the positives also comes the negatives, in this case i mean if there really is a God why would there be so many disasters and terrible happenings that now since digital photography has given us the chance to be informed of? This definitely calls on my faith because i don't understand why a so powerful being would let so much harm into the world. Going back to the beginning of Christianity, the bible has great uses of imagery. all though we might not still be able to fully grasp the idea but because of imagery it helps us understand the subject in a better sense.
.5. "There is an aggression implicit in every use of the camera. This is as evident in the 1840's and 1850's, photography's glorious first two decades, as in all the succeeding decades, during which technology made possible an ever increasing spread of that mentality which looks at the world as a set of potential photographs."
- This class has definitely given me the opportunity to look at everyday objects a lot different. When I was taking photos for my "Urban Decay" project I was looking for the dirties or most run-down buildings. But as i edited and really looked at my pictures I realized that these images had a certain elegance about them, (their own swag) if you will. It was almost like i discovered what the places once were and the memories the building contained. The Danger of looking at the whole world as a potential photograph is you really would never stop and take in whats around you.
