POL reading 183-200



Photographs modernized the way people saw the world starting in the 19th century.  The book also says that the photograph emerged along with science and advanced medicine, but maybe photography influenced advance medicine as well as science. I think this could be so because maybe someone photographed a sickness which then influenced a scientist to further develop a treatment for the sicknesses. Photography was also probably used as surveillance and therefore could have also influence the development of other technologies such as the internet to communicate with one another. It would be to no doubt that photography would influence movies. This is because cinema added the elements of movements and sound to photography since film is basically pictures moving at a fast frame rate. As for the reproduction of art section of the reading, I was reminded of the Dada art movement because in Dada, images or things that already existed would be reused to different forms to send messages.
