Sentiment: POSITIVE
A camera teaches you how to see without a camera.
A camera is a tool for learning how to see without a camera.
This thing called the camera, that takes everything in equally, taught me a lot about how to see.
I have always stood in awe of the camera. I recognize it for the instrument it is, part Stradivarius, part scalpel.
A movie camera is like having someone you have a crush on watching you from afar - you pretend it's not there.
The thing is that when you don't carry a camera, that's when you see pictures in particular, or at least that's when you think you see pictures in particular. When you do carry it, if you do see one on the occasion that you do, you can take it.
The camera is interested in what you are thinking as opposed to just what you are doing or saying.
Before the camera, you only had secondhand takes - someone had to tell you what they saw or draw a picture of it or sing a song. Because of the camera, sometimes to our horror, we now know everything that happens in the world - things that before we were sheltered from.
It is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument.
The camera is no more an instrument of preservation, the image is.
