the auto biography of a camera
Answers
I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking. Recording the man shaving at the window opposite and the woman in the kimono washing her hair. Some day, all this will have to be developed, carefully printed, fixed.” So wrote Christopher Isherwood in his novel Goodbye to Berlin. “I am a camera,” the critical independent clause, became one of the most famous sentences in twentieth-century literature. It also served as the title for both the play and the film versions of Goodbye to Berlin, upon which the musical Cabaret is based in turn. But I am interested in this clause because Isherwood’s narrator declares that he inhabits both the stance of a subjective agent—an “I”—and an objective one, the camera or “eye,” at the same time. With my first book, Dogtown, I eventually found myself wanting to do the same. But I had no idea how to pull this off.........
I didn’t start out with this ambition. Initially, I wanted to be all camera. In fact, I had wanted to become a photographer but somewhere along the way fell under the sway of nonfiction literature, which won me over for a documentary power that is complementary to, but distinct from, that of photography. And the camera that appealed to me was different from Isherwood’s “quite passive, recording, not thinking” one. I wanted to be active and critically engaged while still mostly hovering in the background. I believed this was what my subject demanded of me, but it was also what suited my temperament best......

An Autobiography of a Camera
The year 2016 is very important for me. I was born that year in a large factory in Japan. I was the topmost camera and the most priced product of the Asahi Pentax camera company. As soon as they had given me my finishing touches I was transferred to a large mall. There were many camera there and I shared space with them listening to their tales.
Soon I was purchased by an elderly couple. They packed me gently and took me home. The next day they carried me round their neck and we set out on a long journey. I was constantly used to capture photographs of forests. I was made to focus specially on birds. What beautiful birds did I capture through my lens!
From their conversation I came to know they were famous ornithologists. Their mission was to discover exquisite bird species all over the world. I am three years old now and am their constant companion and friend. I thank God for giving me such a wonderful life.
hope it helps uuhh
thank uhhh
