Future
Minor White's suggestion
| When photographic process is directed towards seeing, when it assists in the opening up of seeing, the expansion of seeing into "Vision" may be more important than the photograph. When seeing is the aim, then the watching of "nature revealed" (Weston), the glimpsing of "spirit" through surfaces (Stieglitz), or the sensing of archetype (Jung), makes itself available to millions of camera bearers. The raising of seeing to the heights of Vision seems to be a possible way out of the "it's-been-done-before" impasse, because as individuals in each generation experience Vision the cliches of Vision remain viable. It is not a matter of history or art, but the here and now experience of both. (Minor White - Introduction, Photography in America, 1974) | ||||
