chapter 17 questions
1. Can you declare Weston's study of Neil as "the real thing," as well as Sherrie Levine's study of Neil?
2. Do you think the number of prints made of a certain image detract from the "realness" of the photo?
3. If Levine rejects authorship of her photos, does that still place copyright regulations on it? Or no because the image itself is illegal?
4. Is Levine's purpose of duplicating images to contest her power with the authors of the original images?
5. I disagreed when they stated, pg. 156 "...what we might consider as its methods or ideology, have remained substantially unchanged throughout all its carious permutations - stylistic, technological, and cultureal - that is has undergone during its hundred and fort year history." Then I went back and read this was written in 1983, so a lot of things have changed since then, including Flicker accounts, Photoshop, the accessibility of digital cameras etc.
