Jim was right, what you record (meaning the >photograph itself) should have a "point of departure" to have meaning. We can get all caught up in semantics, however, I believe that the activity of an artist, photographer, writer, vidiographer, et al, would demand a rather "engaged" form of "observation". And I think that my original statement still works with your point, "This would suggest "engagement and action in the world" in contrast to "passivity"." - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
