I really like the quote that was mentioned in class yesterday that says “painting creates eternity and photography embalms time.” I really agree with this and think that it is an interesting way of looking at the two mediums. I am pretty passionate about photography, always catching good shots when they come along. It really is a better way to truthfully capture a moment or a feeling that is actually going on. I like to paint too, but I feel like this medium, if used to portray something realistic, is only an attempt to grasp what is happening, but cannot truly get it right the way a photograph or film can. The painted image will be there for an eternity, but I feel that it is does not truthfully portray a real moment in time, but that it creates a new one that is infused with imagination and only a pinch of actuality.
