By the mid-nineteenth century, photography had reared its head and introduced a new term to the debate, something we might imagine has always been around: Objectivity – of the camera, the machine, the reality. By contrast, the individual’s gaze on phenomena was multifarious and never likely to agree – the subjective, the untrustworthy, the wooly. The naturalists who had now become scientists, wanted to remove themselves from the absorption of data. Now nature should be revealed as it is, without our simplifying and bending it, our tendency to interpret, to idealize, to wish it were so.

But that never really happens. All those photographs of snow-flakes, like the earlier engravings, end up exact, perfect, symmetrical, even though the real flakes are full of unevenness and irregularity. When a strobe photograph is finally taken on a drop of milk splashing onto a flat plane, Arthur Worthington en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Mason_Worthington first draws a picture of the process so it is perfect, mathematical, and symmetrical. Later he publishes the actual photographs, which are messy, uneven, and blurry. Which is the truer portrayal of this simple natural phenomenon? Principles of pure form are at work, but the reality of nature is inexact, always imperfect.. . . . Page 169
