Week 6 Discussion: Photography and Cinema
Professor Morris and class,
In my opinion, the invention of the smartphone camera changed photography
dramatically. I am old enough to remember buying rolls of film to load into my clunky
camera, taking pictures but being unsure of their quality, and waiting months to have
them developed because I threw the roll into a drawer only to get lost among the other
treasures. Fast forward to now, when I have a camera at my fingertips on my smart
phone. I am able to capture images, discard those that I don’t like, crop and edit them
as I want, and post and/or send them, all in a matter of minutes. The capacity of
photography to record reality is both a virtue and a fault (Jacobus & Martin, 2019). I
think that most of the changes have been positive, as I have captured many images that
I simply would not have otherwise. According to Encyclopedia Britannica (2020), Karl
Lagerfield, a famous director, fashion designer, artist, and photographer, was quoted as
saying “What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone
forever, impossible to reproduce.” I think of this quote as so true when I think of some of
the images of my boys' faces that I have captured during their sporting events. I could
never reproduce those. Social media allows me to keep and share those images with
families who live in other states. I think of this as a positive, because I can connect and
share things with others in minutes.
I also see the negative impact of sharing photographs on social media as I see the
younger generation who post way too much on Facebook, Instagram, Snap chat, Tik-
Tok, and You tube. I think some of these young people are simply too naive to realize
that once you put a photograph out there, it is out there and there’s no taking it back. It
doesn’t matter what is actually in that red solo cup if you are among others drinking
alcohol. The boyfriend that says he will delete the seductive photos shares them with a
few friends and can ultimately be the reason you are not chosen for a job 10 years later.
