![]() ![]() Today, when we aren’t looking at the digital photos that inundate us on our phones, we look to the past to celebrate the photographers who have broken rules as well as records - provocative and prolific artists like Horst P. What might leading figures of visual art such as Andy Warhol have done with these tools at their disposal? Kodak introduced roll film in the 1880s, allowing photography to become more democratic, although cameras wouldn’t be universally accessible until several decades later.ĭigital photographic techniques, software, smartphone cameras and social-networking platforms such as Instagram have made it even easier in the modern era for budding photographers to capture the world around them as well as disseminate their images far and wide. The French inventor was on to something for sure. The first permanent image created by a camera - which materialized during the 1820s - is attributed to Joseph Nicéphore Niépce.

It is frequently asserted that cricket has produced a great literature, but in truth no great writer has ever been inspired by the sport, in the way that Hemingway could be moved by bull-fighting or Tolstoy by hunting. I was forced to read about the game instead, but that too was a disappointment. Sports shops like Lillywhites only offer repulsive stretch-nylon garments that feel as horrid against the skin as they are revolting to the eye.įurthermore, this April was exceptionally cold and wet, so the cricket matches I had hoped to play were cancelled. This is an even bigger disaster than it seems because manufacturers appear to have given up making proper cream cricket whites. It is a harrowing process: this year my cricket bat has vanished, and it turns out that I have put on so much weight that I can no longer fit into my cricket trousers. My most important ritual of the year comes at the start of April, when I burrow in cupboards and old boxes for my cricket kit. ![]() ![]() ![]() (“I had been replaced by a younger model.

Rachel Cooke, The Observer ![]() ![]() ![]() The announcement of death is paramount in Camus' philosophy and in his novels. He is announcing the deaths of many people, common people, and as spectators, we will wait, watch, hear, and perhaps learn from the consequences of the everyday Oedipuses and Creons of Oran - citizens warned again and again of their fate to die, yet who choose to be unbelieving, antagonistic, and indifferent to the warning. This is, in a sense, what Camus is doing in the opening scenes of The Plague. ![]() ![]() A man only begins living, according to Camus, when he announces in advance his own death to himself and realizes the consequences. While reading this novel, one should remember that Camus has an initial prerequisite for an understanding of his philosophy of the absurd: a realization and recognition of the fact of one's own death. Here also we know in advance the horrible fate in store for the characters, and we watch as the scenes unfold the familiar fate and the agony of, say, Oedipus or Creon. This technique, it is worth noting, is somewhat similar to that of a Greek tragedy. It is also underscored in the first chapter. ![]() The tragedy of a plague is announced in the book's title. ![]() ![]() This is another one of Anna Othitis's trip with Captain Frankie.
