David Hockney discusses his book "Cameraworks"

BROADCAST: Dec. 3, 1984 | DURATION: 00:52:23

Synopsis

According to David Hockney, all photographs have perspective in them. With pictures, there is no time and there are no close ups, said Hockney. As for a picture on the television, Hockney said a picture of grief stricken poverty can bring on an emotional toll but then because the next picture of image appears, we immediately forget about the poverty image.
