Camera Position 191 : Walt Whitman, Poetry and Photography
Jeff Curto's Camera Position - A podcast by Jeff Curto
Walt Whitman’s poems in his opus Leaves of Grass mirror the actions of the photographer by beginning with facts and transforming those facts into ideas. I explore how both photography and Whitman’s poetry use simple language to convey complex ideas, giving any object or experience new importance by recording it on a previously blank page.
