THE PARADOXES OF DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY
Digital Revolution?
Is an image, mediated by computer and electronic technology,
radically different from an image obtained through a photographic lens and embodied in film?
annihilating vs solidifying 取代抑或加強？
*保留了cultural codes of film or photography
1.在digital photography取代traditional photography的同時，
也為traditional photography帶來新的角色和價值。
e.g.對於傳統相機的迷戀（如同數位電影的發明之於家庭影音設備的購買/DVD的收集）/數位像框的出現？
2.傳統照片複製會有損毀的現象而數位照片不會（如同vhs之於dvd）。
然而在數位照片轉檔/壓縮過程中（resize）實際上也流失了一些資訊
(數位相片其實是以資料型態儲存的，而壓縮其實是捨棄了某些資訊)e.g.馬賽克現象
但另一方面現今的設備已可呈現超高解析度
3.digital imaging destroys the innocence of straight photography by
making all photographs inherently mutable?
Digital technology does not subvert "normal" photography
because "normal" photography never existed.(Photomontage/多重曝光/似畫非畫)
3.Real vs too real
以Jurassic Park為例，電腦製作的3D影像必須降低解析度來配合實際拍攝的影像。
computer images are not inferior to the visual realism of
traditional photography. They are perfectly real -- all too real.
（hd的出現以及影像處理技術的進步，已經很難區別真實與虛構）
