I mean that as a culture.
not as to individuals.
if we are affectefd by every image we see, then photography, being roughly 98% of all the images humans encounter on a day to day, becomes nothing more than visual background noise.
I wish it was not so but it is.
I love photographic art. I go tio the shows and buy the beautiful books (brassai in paris for example, I have never seen more beautiful and mysterious images of that city) but the age of actual photography is over.
it does not exist anymore. Now we are in a new age, where images made photographically or digitally are manipulated to a degree which negates their ability to serve as documentary objects.
will write more later
