Ways of Seeing: Episode 1 Response

The narrator in Ways of Seeing describes how photographs have become to many people a replacement for viewing paintings. His point of view is interesting because most people do not consider a painting in the context of where it is placed. This problem is his main argument. The location where a photograph resides is important, and he even argues that it is as important as the photograph itself. This is an interesting outlook on the medium of photography versus painting and drawing. Even though it offered an interesting perspective, I do not really see a relation between the video and our current project.
