Now that my theme at school is "self", I was forced to read Roland Barthes's writing and I find that it was really inspiring.
"Now, once I feel myself observed by the lens, everything changes: I constitute myself in the process of 'posing', I instantaneously make another body for myself, I transform myself in advance into an image."-Roland Barthes
He was writing about how he, or should I say everyone in majority, would become a different person infront of the camera. It is really true on how people actually look so different on lens and real life. For example if you don't believe me, a person might be used to slouching on a chair whenever that person seats on one, but very miraculously when a camera comes in, it is a instant reaction to seat upright and appear really poised.
I guess the whole reaction boils right down to impression and reputation. A picture is a freezed frame of a time which can never be obtained ever again even if it was a second later. And if a subject were to appear really un-glam, it would be recorded in that picture forever.
So the question to ask oneself is' Are we trying to be what we arn't?' 'Or are we actually are what we really are?'
So what if there are no cameras around, everyone's eyes are little windows to memories to be kept for a long long time.
