What IS a Photograph? Michael Schreier

What is a photograph?

Beyond the halides and pixels which are either exposed or sprayed onto a sheet of paper, have you ever paused for a moment to wonder what is a photograph?

Artist, teacher and student Michael Schreier is my guest on this episode of Photo Kibitz. Michael is a former Director of Visual Arts at the University of Ottawa. His work is collected in both public and private institutions, like the National Gallery of Canada, the National Archives and the Canadian Portrait Gallery, to name a few.

We spent quite a bit of time chatting about his own work, how he got into photography and his interpretation of what a photograph is.
