“A Picture You Already Know” Sze Tsung Leong


“A Picture You Already Know” Sze Tsung Leong

Photography is a field in which is very repetitious.  Just simply the act of taking a photo is duplicating reality. Leong goes into different sections talking about how repetition can form a significant part of photography. "Repetition is the basis for the recognition of things and the creation of familiar grounds from which the new and unfamiliar can be identified and understood" (254). Photography is already duplicating a process which is repeating first.  
I thought it was interesting to read about uniqueness. I think the way I understand this is that in order to consider something unique you must notice the sameness or repetition of  things in images.
