The task of the philosophy of photography is to question photographers about freedom, to probe their practice in the pursuit of freedom. 1 one can outwit the camera's rigidity. one can smuggle human intentions into its program 2 that are not predicted by it. one can force the camera to create the unpredictable, 3 the improbable, the informative. one can show contempt for the camera and its creations and turn one's 4 interest away from the thing in general in order to concentrate on information.
“In short: Freedom is the strategy of making chance and necessity subordinate to human intention. Freedom is playing against the camera.”
