criticizing photographs chapter 4

TYPES OF PHOTOGRAPHS:

five characteristics that are unique to photography

"the thing itself- photography deals with the actual.
the deatail- photography is tied to the facts of things.
the frame - the photograph is selected, not conceived.
time- photographs are time exposures and describe discrete parcels of time.
vantage point- photographs provide us new views of the world."

six categories for classifying photographs: descriptive, explanatory, interpretive, ethically evaluative, aesthetically evaluative, and theoretical.
