In the reading Ways of Seeing by John Berger, he argues the camera destroyed the idea that images are timeless or unique. I believe Berger’s argument is both true and false. If a camera was to capture a picture of a painting/sculpture then his argument is true. The camera cannot capture the aura and value of a painting/sculpture. However if a photographer were to capture landscape or “Kodak moments” then Berger’s argument would be false. The camera can capture emotions, feelings, as well as positive/negative energy. As an artist this stood out to me the most because in our generation technology is slowly taking over. People no longer have to go the extra mile to witness an original painting/sculpture in person; they can easily look it up on
