1. Knut seems interested in how the punctum and and studium works in everyday photography or if it did at all.

2. The point that is trying to be made as certain parts are shared and observed publicly is if the punctum and stadium are used for certain things, and is overall limited to those things.

3. They observe the images, and they from there separately observe the punctum and stadiums, and then finally make the conclusion that it is in fact not for all photos, but only for certain photos.

Camera Lucida reading end thoughts for class

I thought the "ur-doxa" was interesting because it is so true. Nothing once done can be undone. The difference we feel between seeing items vs. people is interesting as well. Photographing makes the existence authentic. Animula is also interesting because it is talking about the yin yangs of a soul. It was interesting to read about the part about how looking straight in the eyes: it is Forbidden. This I feel like in a way is true when you are photographing, you sort of just become there, and nothing more. You are in a moment where time is still. The last thing about this book that also latched was when he said how "obliging the loving and terrified consciousness to return to the very letter of Time: a strictly revulsive movement which reverses the course of the thing, and which I shall call, in conclusion, the photographic ecstacy." And when I take photos it truly does give me a rush, a sense of the moment.

Reading 2 of Camera Lucida

It was interesting about the death that happened and that would happen. To be able to see the past, and yet at the same time see the future in just a photo is sort of a scary thought. When I looked at some of the photos, I did feel that way, but for some I did not and just felt the past that was, and not the future.

Camera Lucinda Reflections

As he went through old photos to try and find his mother, it reminded me of how I am doing the same thing, but for my father, to recollect times before the sorrow. The times before us, are history, we look into the history of someone known, but now gone, and we see what helped them become them through the photos we find, and remember for the things they were, and had. We are reminded in a way of what great things our mothers sacrifice for us, and how much greater they are. For they are our whole world until they are gone like the wind one day. How can we see what we have lost, yet see what we have not. A dream that transcends reality, and a reality that transcends a dream. Through looking at old photos, we start to piece and find who was once lost, and fill our empty hearts once more. By looking back in time, we find the lost, and through that time travel we find who they were, and who they have become up until the very end. Through and through, though lost and gone, we still feel the love in the space that once was.
