I’m a bit on the fence about his argument in Past Perfect. Although I agree that history is important I don’t think that you necessarily need to know it. For example, I know a lot about art history of painting, but nothing of the history of photography, I would like to learn but I don’t think that I’m doing all that bad in photography. I agree that knowing the past can help with the future of photography and what you do with your work and recreating techniques that they used. For example, when Alexia Sinclair came and spoke to us she spoke about how all her art history of painters has influenced and been reflected in her work today, whether it just be similar colour schemes. At the same time I believe that photography is just getting out there and experimenting as much as it is about knowing all the history of it.
