Excerpt from the Lonely Planet Images Blog:
“Without getting bogged down in too much detail, Golden Mean is actually a mathematical concept which, when unravelled, can explain why certain images give pleasure to the human eye.”
I wonder how Barthes would have responded to that statement – in Camera Lucida, Barthes advances an argument that photographs possess a punctum, an element that makes a photograph pleasing to the viewer, but one that is idiosyncratic to the viewer himself.
