Testing 1.2.3. "The Depictive Level"




-"Photography is inherently an analytic discipline. Where a painter starts with a blank canvas and builds a picture, a photographer starts with the messiness of the world and selects a picture. A photographer standing before houses and streets and people and trees and artifacts of a culture imposes an order on the scene - simplifies the jumble by giving it structure. He or she imposes this order be choosing a vantage point, choosing a frame, choosing a moment of exposure, and by selecting a plane of focus". 
-"Are you talking about The Depictive level Mr. Jane?"
-Jane answers, "Duh."
