RE: SQUARESPACE SCREWED UP MY BLOG - late yesterday afternoon, all of the issues with my blog suddenly (and unbidden) self-corrected. That is, in exactly the same manner-seemingly out of the blue-in which the issues suddenly appeared a couple weeks ago. In any event, only time will tell if the issues are gone for good. Moving on …
OVER ON TOP IT HAS BEEN WRITTEN THAT “I would never have transferred the word ‘photography’ to digital imaging. They [film and/or digital picture making] are enough different that they each deserve their own name.”
iMo, that idea don’t mean diddly squat to me inasmuch as, over the years on this blog, I have used the phrase picture making to describe what I do with a picture making device (of any kind). If one prefers, one might label the use of that nomenclature an affectation of sorts, but I use it cuz it describes the idea that I make pictures. Although, if one prefers, what I make-by means of the medium of photography and its apparatus-could be labeled also as photographs.
FYI, Meriam-Webster defines photography as the art or process of producing images by the action of radiant energy and especially light on a sensitive surface (such as film or an optical sensor).
However, my point is rather simple…that is, who f**king cares what you call it? I mean, are we not all just drawing with light?
