《生活快照》是从人类学家的角度对摄影文化和家庭生活的一次重要尝试。理查德·查尔芬(Richard Chalfen)审视了他所谓的“家庭模式”摄影,探索了快照、幻灯片、家庭相册、家庭电影和家庭视频,揭示了人们如何处理他们的照片以及他们的个人照片对他们有什么作用。查尔芬的“宝丽来人”是可识别的——如果讽刺的是——亲戚、叔叔、阿姨和全美孩子。作为“柯达文化”的成员,他们观看家庭电影,给新生婴儿拍照,甚至在人生最黑暗的时刻,在集体照中刮掉不喜欢的亲戚的脸。他研究了谁拍摄了这些照片、为什么拍摄,以及他们如何思考(或不思考)规划、编辑和展示他们的照片。查芬的分析揭示了看似自发的摄影活动背后的文化结构行为。
"Snapshot Versions of Life" is an important foray into the culture of photography and home life from an anthropologist's perspective. Examining what he calls 'Home Mode' photography, Richard Chalfen explores snapshots, slide shows, family albums, home movies, and home videos, uncovering what people do with their photos as well as what their personal photos do for them.Chalfen's 'Polaroid People' are recognizable - if ironically viewed - relatives, uncles, aunts, and All-American kids. As members of 'Kodak Culture' they watch home movies, take pictures of newborn babies, and even, in their darker moments, scratch out the faces of disliked relatives in group photographs. He examines who shoots these photos and why, as well as how they think (or don't) of planning, editing, and exhibiting their shots. Chalfen's analysis reveals the culturally structured behavior underlying seemingly spontaneous photographic activities.
