Since the first photographers worked with fervor to make daguerreotypes of the uncivilized American West, capturing the genius of both the landscape and its people, we have been ensnared by the beauty, irreverence, slander, chaos, and wonder of images born from the marriage of silver-bromide and light. The method of camera obscura taught us how to look at things afresh, how to use changing perspectives and foci to decipher the lives and events of the people around us. And since we discovered how to unlock the secrets of capturing motion on film, our world has never been the same.
Moving pictures, silent films, the cinema, movies: these are all names for one of the most important modern art mediums in the history of human existence. A great story’s best qualities—its depth of meaning, clarity (or ambiguity) of message, its bold, invigorated themes, its tragic, heroic, supernatural characters—all of these elements leap off of the page and come to life on the silver screen. Suddenly, the theater of the imagination becomes a living drama, a realization of the exact ideas of the creator. Suddenly, a man or woman with an important idea has another truly powerful method to communicate that idea to the world.
