The Encompassing Eye: Photography as Drawing

The author (and the accompanying exhibition) offers an
alternative way of considering the nature and functions of
photography. It attempts to point to a better understanding not
only of the medium itself, but of how it fulfills the human need
to make pictures in order better to comprehend the world and
ourselves. What forms that need may take in the future remains
to be seen, as we surround ourselves - with new tools which
promise to affect our understanding of the world just as
photography itself has.
