Photography- The sparks of the reel

origin Photo (Latin) (light)
Graphy (Greek) (Write)

Pipes on sign which has been drawn, dosent mean just pipe its a catagory of object and sign with shoes just dosent mean that particular shoe it means all catogory of shoes

Philosopy say that cartoon or a less realistic hand is more easier to read than a painting of a hand or aa image of a hand

Roland Barthes
photograhic has a reference
Pipe sign means all pipe not one particular pipe
This is my brtoher (a photograph of him) you are refering to its reference (the real thing)

The word is the meaning of concept for example a lion, we think in our mind its a savage creature, we dont need an image of it

A photograh of a war , we expect army troops black and white photo war theme but with two nuns in the photograph dosent suit the frame for it.

Roland Barthes

" a camera with human eye"
"a photograh would represent death"

John Berger

Berger says when theres a image in the middle of anywhere represent clueless until you name it, then it gives you a meaning and a different impression.
quote a drawing is a translation to a photograph image, when van gogh draws a cyprus tree it is drawing the actual image, his interupting what he sees.

an image of people smiling with papers, could illustrate celebration which he says photograph is broad and naked, it could be anything until you name it.
