Assistant Carpenter

“What I intentionalize in a photograph is neither Art nor Communication, it is Reference, which is the founding order of Photography.”

 

Barthes talks about intentionally framing a shot for reference, and how photographs prove the reality of the past for that specific moment in time. This shot can be considered artistic but also must be considered reference, because it shows that I was staining wood in a camper with my dog, that is proven reality.
