“Although no viewer could believe that the photograph is the same thing as the world it depicts, he can be encouraged to look through the medium, on the grounds that the medium holds a record of the light rays that would have reached his eye had he been placed where the camera was. Neither painting nor computer graphics can appeal to the ‘natural’ agency of light itself.” (Bolter & Grusin, Remediation, p120)

I promise these pictures won’t be all cats, and I promise they will generally be better photographs. New Years Day was a lazy day.
