Analysis of Image in Light



Image in Light  

Images are light
Well an image is recorded
by  and in  light
Light which passes through a lens to strike a retina  or a
photosensitive surface with an attached brain  either
physiological or material,  
to perceive

I could say that an observer gives existence to an image
  though this existence is not dependent on perception by an observer   In a sense it is like S's cat in a box   The image exists  yet does not exist, perceived vs potentially perceived

For this percieved image is not its only existential form   It exists in an array of photons    
never needing to pass through a lens to perception  
Many there must
be  each a record
