JAMIE CAMPBELL

Sitting in a philosophy class is strenuous exercise. The discussions elicit deep introspection. It is within these rooms that students evaluate and form opinions on important issues and ideas. As professor Jamie Campbell puts it,

''The job of a philosopher is to mess with your head."

Many mornings I sat in captivefascination, trying to stay abreast of the conversation in John MorrealFs Philosophy of Selected Issues class. I was envious of the enthusiasm and passion with which he performed his job. Here was a man who seemed unified with his vocation. I was intrigued by his appearance. He has the look of an intense intellectual, one who is so involved with his thought process that there is scarcely room for the trivialities of vanity

Throughout my time at RTF, I have often heard praise and colorful descriptions ofprofessors in the philosophy division. This combined with my own experience sparked a compelling interest to record these men on film.

I am interested in details: wrinkles, expressions, posture, gesture, and texture. I tried to photograph our subjects in a way that would best enable you to analyze these qualities... for the only truths captured on film in an instant in time are physical. Anything else that appears implied by myself the photographer to you the viewer is simply the outcome of our combined interpretations. For me this is the beauty of a photograph: its ability to record physical information selected by the photographer artd to make that information available for study and personal interpretation by each individual.
