I think the whole concept of this writing is very interesting. One line that stuck out to me was "We cannot improve the making of our eyes, but we can endlessly perfect the camera." I think this is really interesting to think about because I still feel like viewing something with your eyes is a much better experience than through a camera. Later in the article it says something along the lines of theater being a lousy imitation of life. I agree because sight is only one aspect of an experience. But on the other hand, with a camera, you are able to capture exactly what you want the viewer to see, making a situation more perfect in a way. It can cause the viewer to see something like they never would have on their own, which is beautiful in and of itself. You are able to capture the perfection of one of the human senses.
