reductive

It's easy to get lost behind a camera, where people cease to be persons with any kind of meaning as such, where the main focus is on the surface. It's easy to see you through the lens, construct you within the frame, as a figure of lines and curves, as an object that moves and acts and is acted upon, that is seen but does not see. It's an easy way of life but I guess it's not much of a way to live, is it?
