there was somebody in the New Photography show who was using acetates on the camera lens, iirc

it's funny, there's a picture in front of an Air India storefront that's shown up in a couple of Meyerowitz shots too. those guys must have really loved that corner.

“To say that photographs lie implies that they might tell the truth; but the beauty of their nature is exactly to say nothing, neither to lie nor not to. Then what purpose may be served, or disguised, in attempting to deny so obvious a fact, in attempting instead to mean that emptiness? If the purpose is to counter those, real or imagined, who bluntly claim photographs never lie, then the counter only replaces the Village Idiot by the Village Explainer. There must be some more attractive purpose. I believe the motto serves to cover an impressive range of anxieties centred on, or symptomatized by, our sense of how little we know about what the photograph reveals: that we do not know what our relation to reality is, our complicity in it; that we do not know how or what to feel about those events; that we do not understand the specific transformative powers of the camera, what I have called its original violence; that we cannot anticipate what it will know of us or show of us.”— Stanley Cavell What Photography Calls Thinking in Raritan Reading

huh generally a lot of nice stuff on that site. one thing, it seems to me that deadpan vertical photographs are sort of a 'thing' right now, especially when combined into diptychs. I feel like I see more and more of this and that it is meant to work as a shorthand signifier for quickly identifying the pictures as belonging to "art" and not just your dad's photography. something kinda bugs me about it. I guess not the deadpan vertical format itself, but the way I see a lot of stuff presented. diptychs, triptychs, grey borders, vast white borders around shrunken photos, etc. all of which I thought was pretty decent presentation when I first encountered it, but all of which reads more like very standardized code to me now. like it's just meant to whisper "hey, serious stuff here. worthy of attention. operating with delicate sensibilities, check it out."I'm also just grumpy sometimes so I might be way off. and I like the pictures! I think I might regret this or have second thoughts later today.

somehow I think this ties in to the current vogue for brightly lit still lifes too
― chinavision!, Wednesday, 13 February 2013 14:46 (eleven years ago) link
yeah I can kinda see that. probably something to write in there too about how our tools dictate our way of seeing. simply easier to take a horizontal. I'd like to shoot with an olympus pen (the old half-frame) to see how shooting verticals only might change the way I take pix
― 乒乓, Wednesday, 13 February 2013 14:47 (eleven years ago) link
something about people inclined towards photography but maybe a little defensive about it's place in the art world. feeling the need to add presentation elements, or do some staging etc. to show intent and authorship or something.

I've even found myself going for more verticals lately, I think from loving the Stephen Gill stuff I've seen so much!
― chinavision!, Wednesday, 13 February 2013 14:49 (eleven years ago) link
hey a half frame would be great for verticals but also just to squeeze in twice as many snapshots on a roll. and why not mess around with some smaller lower resolution formats?
― chinavision!, Wednesday, 13 February 2013 14:50 (eleven years ago) link
ok, I'm realizing the other thing that bugs me about a bunch of diptychs/triptychs I see is that the photos sometimes seem to communicate *nothing* in combination or to each other etc. like the desire for a diptych was stronger than the need.
― chinavision!, Wednesday, 13 February 2013 14:52 (eleven years ago) link
what am I even talking about, my zeiss ikon shoots verticals. although I thin kit may have a light leak. whatever!

this is true but i remember feeling all wowed when a friend & i were talking about cameras, how they'd arrived at their shape & form (like that steven wright thing, if photos are square why are lenses round), & we realised that the horizontal/landscape format resembles the actual height x width ratio of our eyes. like something about them makes sense! my favourite thing since then is shooting horizontally & presenting the photos vertically, it's such a satisfying editorial move.
china otm about some of those presentation tropes. i snobbishly always felt a little that way about getting white borders on prints at the lab.

”Neither Evans nor Atget presumes to put us in touch with a pure reality, a thing in itself; their cropping always affirms its arbitrariness and contingency. And the world they characteristically picture is a world already made over into meaning that precedes the photograph; a meaning inscribed by work, by use, as an inhabitation, as artifact. Their pictures are signs representing signs, integers in implicit chains of signification that come to rest only in major systems of social meaning: codes of households, streets, public places“
