Veridical perception – what you see is what you get. (Hoffman, 2019 posits this can’t be the case)
Schrödinger – uses term ‘naive realism’ (Barad, 2007)
Daniel C Blight – talks about photography being conservative (agree!) (Twitter, 2019)
And photography does seem in many instances / general use to be tautological (CS A1 Field, 2019)- at which point it becomes reassuring/comforting to make and look at.
