The Ontology of the Photographic Image
André Bazin; Hugh Gray
Film Quarterly, Vol. 13, No. 4. (Summer, 1960), pp. 4-9
This was a really interesting read discussing the plastic arts, problems of realism within painting throughout time and how photography's advent affected this. I found it interesting that when compared to painting, something requiring the interaction of a human hand much more heavily than in photography, photographs are taken as truth, fact, and as effectively representing reality.
