Went to the CCP yesterday, to see the Anne Zahalka Show, while I contemplate my response, consider this.
"The photographic process looks after itself when its natural inheritance is honoured. It can not understand any other way of working. But when what is passed on represents a loss, the process collapses."

I interpet it to mean we need to understand how photograph y reperesents the world and if we want it to faithfully reproduce that, we need to respect that.
I can send the pdf where this comes from if you like, or it's link.

Very profound. What on earth does it mean?
That we all need to have a good grounding in photographic history, that we have to have spent our formative years shooting all manaual roll film cameras, hmm? That if we mess up our own passing-on-ness, we help diminish the photographic canon in some way?
Or something else....
