Nowadays, we are constantly bombarded with images from Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, etc. The point is that images are at a point where they are inevitable, so what will happen to photography, or the arts for that matter? My guess is as good as yours, but what I can tell you is that many photographers have remained on the well-worn path for over a century with little to no change. Sure, technology is advanced, but are so-called "photographers" advanced too? Now I'm not talking about all photographers, so please don't take my opinion as a generalization, but I believe this applies to the majority. Then again, I'm just an amateur hobbyist, so what do I know? By the end of this article you will have formed your own opinion on the topic, but until then, take everything with a grain of salt. Throughout my article I will discuss a few things about photography in the modern world, the only way In order to see this happen is to start from a fundamental foundation, building a solid foundation to support or deny my opinions. According to Merriam Webster (2015), photography is defined as “the art or process of producing images by the action of radiant energy and especially light on a sensitive surface (such as film or an optical sensor).” By this definition, owning a DSLR or camera with a sensitive optical sensor and using it to take a photo is photography. A tool is just a tool, so obviously this definition is incorrect. Photography to me is an image taken with concept, intent, vision, imagination and representation; all taken into consideration at the time of photography, or before. In other words, taking a selfie is not photography; too cliché, lacks intention, vision and imagination (there is some form of representation... in the middle of the paper... these images, however these images have a strong meaning that can be openly interpreted by viewers. These images make me they convey how simple art can be, but they also make me question what society has defined as art its various pieces, they indicate that it is human, but what blows me away is that the imperfections and process in its are intentional, it's art! Lucas Blalock is unlike any photographer I've ever seen or heard of, and his technique and use of CIVIP makes him a true conceptualist. As so-called "photographers", we should all strive to keep in mind CIVIP (concept, intent, vision, imagination and effective representation) before or when we produce a photograph, only then can we become innovators of an art that has yet to be truly recognized.
