There are rules of the Box learn them then play outside of the box. Camera takes a photograph what the photographer does with it is his choice But for ever it remains a photograph or a frozen moment in time

I can't find my "box"! I know it's around here somewhere! Come to think about it, maybe I never had a box, to begin with. Does anyone know where I can get a good deal on one- complete with a comprehensive set of rules? Till then, I'll just have to languish away on the outside looking into somebody else's box!

Photography is not about what is seen in the photo. It's about what is captured forever in the image.


Absolutely correct!

Most sources define a photo as the product of a camera. A picture may include a photo but also a drawing, painting etc. An image can include all these plus what you see in a mirror or simply a figment of your imagination or memory. Let the dead horse sleep in peace.


I find it amazing how much life a dead horse has!

My favorite quote from the 1966 movie, “What’s Up, Tiger Lily?”

I'd call him a sadistic, hippophilic necrophile, but that would be beating a dead horse.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photograph

"The word photograph was coined in 1839 by Sir John Herschel and is based on the Greek φῶς (phos), meaning "light," and γραφή (graphê), meaning "drawing, writing," together meaning "drawing with light."

"The first permanent photograph, a contact-exposed copy of an engraving, was made in 1822 using the bitumen-based "heliography" process developed by Nicéphore Niépce."

"The first photographs of a real-world scene, made using a camera obscura, followed a few years later at Le Gras, France, in 1826"

As you can see, a photograph does not require a camera, just a photosensitive surface.

"The earliest known surviving product of Nicéphore Niépce's heliography process, 1825. It is an ink on paper print and reproduces a 17th-century Flemish engraving showing a man leading a horse."

And so we have the horse, which must be long dead.
