Disruptor | Photochemical Film
Disruptor | Photochemical Film
Arguably, If it is an art, what it takes to master it, is something innate. While the fact remains that no one can ever master anything, discrimination exists and required to distinguish between an unprecedented and an usual.
The digital democratized and made everyone owning a fully automated click button camera as a photographer or a cinematographer. There is no need to make explicit as to how complex (and beauty lies in its complexity) working with a photochemical film medium is. There is a chance, which is what makes the output of the film a unique medium. Unless it is processed and its output is presented, it can't be checked. It is left to chance. It is like an act of God or nature, we really don't have control over it, yet we can pray by exerting physical and mental efforts in producting the images closer to naked human eye view.
I'm really frustrated by people sharing beautiful pictures and nicely written sentences, complementing the photographs on the occasion of "World Photography Day". But the reality is despair and pain. What is photographed here reportedly happened in the second world war, I forgot to remember the story behind this picture and I have always wanted to share. Since today is something to do with photography, I'm sharing it.
