If you look at some of the discussion about film and photography, for a long time it’s been accepted that one thing photography has showed us is that images are in things themselves. Cameras are a non-human eye. Most of the imagery we see on TV or in films for example isn’t human, the points of view used would be physically impossible for a human to have. Cuts and montage make a film or TV show the perception of no person, but rather the ‘eye’ of the story itself. Still photography is the same though, we don’t really ‘take’ pictures, we extract them from within things, where they already were.
