-Reading Quiz

1. What does the phrase “The man who said ‘I saw it! I saw it!’ and passed it by” mean in terms of photography?

2. Drawing on the Daido Moriyama essay and our class discussions explain in your own words how photographs can “contain the living pulse of the human being behind the camera”.

Answers:

1. The phrase "The man said 'I saw it! I saw it!' and passed it by" means in terms of photography that a photographer sees all. He is both a viewer and a "dweller." In terms of photography in order to get an amazing photograph and capture an amazing image, the person behind the lens has to really look and really see his or her subject not just view and observe.

2. Photographs can "contain the living pulse of the human being behind the camera" because it has a special connection to him or her. The the photographer chooses a specific subject to photograph because they see and feel something special about it. A certain connection is made and suddenly for that moment, it is a living and moving experience, one with a special pulse, that the photographer encounters.
