As our play's photographer I thought it would be appropriate to look up a little bit of russian pictorialism.
Taking photos with the purpose of creating an artwork was definitely a new concept in the early 1900's. It will be interesting to see what motivates the picture taking. Is it that I want to capture the moment and hold onto it for remembrance or possibly that I am an artist at work. Maybe I hope to make money off of my photos one day. Or perhaps it's a little bit of both. If I take a picture to remember, but the picture has to be framed and shot with good composition, that might add another element of specificity and obstacle to the work.
