Immediacy

Regarding yesterday's post and Henri Cartier-Bresson's view I begin to wonder if it is just one side of whatever coin.

For drawing has also got an immediacy, especially since the medium is less technical than in the case of  photography, where one needs a camera, a device to assist the eye.

There are maybe two different aspects of immediacy and reflection.

On the one side the immediacy of the eye supported by the camera, on the other hand the immediacy of the stroke, the hand.

On the one hand the fact that one depends on the camera and the film (and as far as I know perception and the brain are always a little bit behind the actual moment), on the other the whole process of drawing, which certainly takes more time than to push the release.
