Ways of Seeing Reflection




            I found this video extremely hard to follow, primarily because it is so old and also because it was British.  Although I found this video very dated, it was very interesting to understand the mindset and perspective of some forty years ago.  In some ways the concepts about technology, cameras, and art seemed very similar to those today, and in other ways it seemed pretty foreign because of the age gap.  I find it interesting to think that there used to be only one place at a time where you could see the Mona Lisa or any other piece of art, but now I could look it up on my computer or buy a print or postcard easily.  The camera and photographs are so integrated in everyday life it is hard to imagine life without them.
