Irrespective of race and culture we, as a species, have always expressed ourselves anthropometrically and modelled the universe from the base of ourselves. We don't really “see,” we just experience ourselves and our culture. While the traditional arts are wholly the product of this limitation, photography is not. Photographs have always shown us the unnoticed and, in some applications, the unseeable. We accept photographic information because, no matter how strange the result, the medium is familiar. It is our creation, and we are learning to live with the strange messages it brings. A world that can embrace and understand the implications of photography, its derivatives and the sights that they bring is a world that is rehearsing the eventual evacuation of this planet.
