- Is it possible to subvert the choices made by past and present manufacturers of photo cameras?
- Is it possible to subvert the design choices made by the manufacturers of photo cameras?
Abstract
Photographs influence us, but the way the photograph is created is in turn influenced by the technology that does so;
Cameras influence the possibilities of the result, and their result (Photographs) have in turn influenced us.
Changes, additions and new inventions have changed the camera over time, thereby it's result, and therefor how it influences us.
Those changes are made by people who have control over the development and production of cameras, influenced by various things and desires that might contribute to why such changes were made, whether this is in the interest of consumers or not.
This means that, to some degree, changes in our perception are dependent on those that have this control, which we might not be pleased with.
If changes in the technology alters our perception, does it logically follow that by removing such changes, or reverting them, we also get rid of it's influence, and is this a possible way of countering this?
