The commonplace cell phone/camera makes a paltry "presence" by comparison, but the ubiquitous cellphone camera wields even more power -- a collective power -- that has never before been seen. Why do we now have police who insist that no photographs be taken? After 9/11, cameras are especially recognized for their power. The recognition of this fact does not give away the magic of photography, nor does it remove its power.Jessica Hineshttp://jessicahines.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991511073052731290.post-64640965679581797602013-03-28T21:07:19.473-04:002013-03-28T21:07:19.473-04:00JH, Cell phone cameras do not get close to holding...JH, Cell phone cameras do not get close to holding the "power" Diane was referring to and compounded with the era we now live. Back then, photographing was more of a unique and seldomly seen occasion.. people did not mind to be photographed, they were not yet paranoid about being posted on the web, as every person now thinks you will be doing with the images. If everyone has power then nobody does.Joshua Kristalhttp://www.joshuakristal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991511073052731290.post-12134460614821209502013-03-28T21:05:31.316-04:002013-03-28T21:05:31.316-04:00I really love her images, they stick in my mind in...I really love her images, they stick in my mind in part because I feel she was seeing joy when she took them, I feel like she was trying to capture that for herself too. When I see her images like the one you have shown they make me happy too, I feel like I really am looking at them the way she did and that really shows she was one very talented artist. I aspire to make images that other people can look at and feel the emotions that I feel when I capture them.Joanna Blackhttp://www.joannablackphotography.com/www.joannablackphotography.com/Home.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991511073052731290.post-87637406017742922272013-03-28T21:04:02.223-04:002013-03-28T21:04:02.223-04:00The words still ring true.

And the professional cameras are still with us and carry with them the same presence, the same "edge".<br />10 hours agoJessica Hineshttp://jessicahines.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991511073052731290.post-22383077420592501842013-03-28T02:45:42.622-04:002013-03-28T02:45:42.622-04:00Great artist !
