reaction to equivalence.

The assigned article, "Equivalence: The Perennial Trend," by Minor White outlines a philosophy of photography in which images are rendered as to evoke feelings of empathy. The natural human tendency to project oneself can be harnessed and manipulated through imagery, which when viewed and processed by the observer stimulates an cognitive response. Given the amount of imagery we are exposed to daily and the pace of ideas in the modern day it may be photographers will have to dig deeper and deeper to evoke a response in their audience. There are however perennial aspects of the human psyche which will forever be subject to a visual stimulant, such as a photograph. It is the nature of the photograph that will change, evolving with society and culture, for so long as visual art is of any relevance.
