The contemporary camera

Abstract

Photgraphical behaviour and technology

Was photography an old dream? Would the caveman that drew the bulls, use a camera, or a brush if he was given a choice and a sudden understanding of their functions without affecting his destined hunt, or the story he was to tell. That depends on the story or the hunt. Extended, what matters is not what people photograph, but that they photograph. Photography is both a human behaviour and a technology. Its development and how it changes our collective cognition, will be determined by how technology will advance; and how people use it currently, what the demand in technology was, is and will be.
