A lexicon for Camera Obscura

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The camera obscura has allowed artists, scientists, and philosophers to view the world as a flat image. Two - dimensional renditions of visual reality seem to be more manageable and easier to grasp than reality itself. A Lexicon for Camera Obscura is a survey of facts and lore about the author's use-of camera obscura as a metaphorical vehicle to comment about reality.
