The Images Of The Digital Image

The Great Railroad strike of 1877 led to many problems this strike, also referred to as the Great Upheaval, which began in July in a town named Martinsburg, West Virginia, the railroad strike ended forty-five days after locals, state militias and federal troops shut it down. The goals of the railroad strike were for a wage increase. The workers of the railroad were not represented by labor unions, which mad the workers angry therefore several cities started to build armories to support their militias to avoid any problems. There were many causes of the strike, one was that the civil war ended and a boom in railroad construction ensued about 55,000 of new tracks being laid between the years 1866 and 1873. In 1873, the Wake of the panic developed between workers and leaders. As immigration from Europe was underway, the railroad jobs were increasing and it became a competition, which enables companies to drive down the wages and lay off their workers. Speculators fed large amounts of money into the railroad industry causing an abnormal growth (en.wikipedia.org).

It is a debate that has been going on for years and years, especially in the twenty first century, of which medium in photography is superior, Film or Digital, Personally I use both, I will be discussing the issue over the length of this paper. Going through positives and negatives around both the processes, and techniques associated with the forms of photography.

Until the 19th century most artwork was created in a two or three-dimensional media. In England, William Fox discovered a technique that allowed camera images to be captured on paper. This medium has evolved since Fox’s discovery in 1839 to a serious and viable form of art today. Photography allows the artist to capture what he sees. The image produced is reality to the artists eye, it can only be manipulated with light and angles.

Yet as a result of the constant update of technology and the growing personal computer industry, the creation of such work can be recreated at the fraction of the cost or at no cost by anyone. This is computer generated imagery at its finest and most accessible

I started to research more into Seb Lester, and then I found someone called Thomas Quinn. Thomas Quinn is an Anamorphic Typographer. The design I took an interest in, is the one that says “FACE REALITY AS IT IS”. This design

The “War on drugs” has shaped various aspects of public and criminal justice policy. The linkage between drug use and crime has been unaddressed problem over the past decades. New laws have been passed to deter drug involvement and increase penalties for drug related crime. The war on drugs has increase many court room dockets and higher incarceration rates. This war has caused a lot of disparity in communities because “Crack” was the poor man’s drug and due to the get tough tactics that the government was trying to enforce throughout this time cause the African American’s were hit harder with convictions due to the use of crack and causes more incarceration rates. Many would believe that the US has benefited from the war on drugs because our

The nineteenth century brought along great artistic styles and technology that at the time were unfathomable. We have the nineteenth century and two men to thank for bringing about photographs using two types of methods; Daguerreotypes and Calotypes. The attempts at creating convincing photos were futile and primitive at best. It was not until a Frenchman Louis Jacques Mane Daguerre and Englishman Briton William Henry Fox Talbot, pioneers of photography created Daguerreotypes and Calotypes did we have our first successful methods of photography. Daguerreotypes involved using a metal plate and chemicals in our to retrieve the image. Calotypes were created and worked similar to negatives; sensitized paper and negative images were created and exposed to light; his methods were course and not nearly as sharp as the Daguerreotypes. Photography arrived with impeccable

Today, anyone can use a camera to capture a photo with a single click in a single second. However; this type of advanced camera was nonexistent during the renaissance when photographers were using camera obscuras to project inverted images of the things that were outside the of the obscura. It wasn’t until the 19th century that the development of the chemical needed to capture an actual image became available. Even though people were now able to photograph, the lengthy process that it took to register a single image made photography nearly impossible. For instance, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce took more than 6 hours to capture the first photographs ever taken.

Since the beginning of time our ancestors have tried to portray images of past events that happened in their lives or in others. For centuries, many artists have treated pictures of people or of non living beings like photos. If not for photography people would still have to be Picasso or Van Gogh. Like painting and drawing a piece of art, photography would take hours before it showed up on slides.Photography was first discovered around 1839. although there is no way of knowing the exact date, we can still say it was around the 1800’s due to the fact that there were no traces of photography before. One of the first photographs to ever come out on a slide is called “View from the Window at Le Gras” (Circa, 1826). When joseph nicéphore niépce

Between the use of film or digital photography, film is the more effective method when looking for originality and creativity. With the adoption of digital photography, the younger generations, as well as the older and more current photographers are becoming lazy. These groups must recognize that the art of the photograph is being jeopardized by the digital camera and the camera phone. For the current photographers as well as amateur photographers, this essay will serve as testimony to film as well as other chemical methods, and how they shouldn’t be ignored, but preferred. The digital era has had a massive impact on the art world and all of its mediums, but for photography this impact has resulted in the removal of the human from the photograph making process. This intimate process is what makes it an art form. All of films imperfections and unique qualities, as well as its monetary value and scarcity are just a few factors that have made it so precious. To replace this entire process with a microchip is offensive and undermines the importance of the process that is needed to make a photograph. Anyone can take a picture but you must make a photograph, and this skill is being simplified to a digital camera. The impact of the digital era on photography has hindered the process of making a photograph; painting the art form obsolete in today’s society.

However as the authors stressed, probably more significant than the change in how images are produced, distributed and used, are the ideas to which the changes are giving rise and how digital imaging is challenging and changing traditional ways of seeing and thinking. It seems that our traditional belief that ‘the camera never lies’ has been brought into question. It also appears important to consider who

Dr. James Cox developed a procedure called the “Cox maze” in 1987, that has changed from the “cut and sew” surgical procedure, where there were several cuts made to create a maze, to a use of surgical ablation technology, where ablation lesions are put with different energy sources such as radiofrequency, cryothermy, microwave, and high-frequency ultrasound. Therefore, this course of action has evolved from a median sternotomy choice to one that can be done minimally, invasively, and robotically. (Henry, 2013)

While we think of photography as a fairly modern invention, that is simply not true. In fact, there are documents on the underlying principle behind photography dating back to as early as the Fifth Century, B.C. The first recorded instance of a photographic image was found in 5th Century China. During that time, Chinese philosopher and scholar Mo-Ti described how light passing through a pinhole into a dark room created an inverted, full color image on the opposite wall. Mo-Ti the room he used to produce this

In today’s society, technology and art go hand in hand. Art has been around for a long time but technology such as computers are still very new. These two mediums have comingled and now evolve and effect the other. Art has changed to reflect the vast improvements technology has contributed to communication and the ability to create using digital space. Technology has also changed with artist pushing the boundaries of what is technical possible in the digital realm. Much of today’s art is created and presented in digital formats. The question of whether digital art is truly art has risen among many critics in the art community.
