Physics of Photography

The physics of photography extend to more than just what light does or what light is made of.

Photography is a time machine through which travel is the necessary optic. Photos tell stories that have to do with time as we see it in a linear way, when time is not linear at all.

We can pretend to look back. We can pretend we see what is before us right now. We can pretend to see what might come about.

All of that would be the pretense that photography suggests exist, existed, and will exist. Many quantum effects are coninuous in nature. And it’s eminently possible that space and time at a fundamental quantum level are continuous, too.

This begs the question that explores whether the photographer is the observer or the witness. The observer has impact on what is observed. The witness is there but isn’t there.

Like photons seem to fly apart when, in fact, they disappear and are asbsorbed but we do not know where.
