Scientific photography encouraged a freer, more outgoing use of the medium, says Dibbets. The whole problem with photography is that it was invented at the wrong time. As Baudelaire so rightly pointed out, the first photographers were doing their best to imitate artists like Ingres and other realists. All this imitation . blocked the process of emancipation. ************************ ref.
