...brings up all sorts of topics, some of which I try to convey in photographs. Even if I never get around to shooting them it is a mental exercise I enjoy because my Lawyer is a really cool guy (for a lawyer ) and knows how to seriously tweak my grey matter.
Here is a concept which once upon a time was given great value but in the political and legal world,(in the U.S. anyway,) and in post-modernist societies is now meaningless. Of course for those relics of the 13th Century, or even the 19th Century (but more strongly in the pre-Industrial Age) it still has great importance:
How would you go about making a photograph which defines or illustrates the term "Fidelity?"
Nothing sentimental allowed since Fidelity is in it's essence incompatible with sentimentality. "Borrowing'" from other artistic media isn't allowed. It has to be original and in execution unique to photograhy.
I've been thinking about this...and thinking about this ...but so far nothing really registers. Copies of the photograph, if there every is one, will go to a local elementary school to be put somewhere the students can see it because "Fidelity" is not part of any curriculum---at least not in my neck of the woods.
See what fun having a cup of coffee with my Lawyer can be?
Any ideas?
