camera lucida [L.; lit. ‘light chamber’, after camera obscura]. Optics.

Studium: "meanings that are nameable," "given cultural meanings that we understand at once" (44)
Punctum: "a personal memory based not on the public archive but a private repertoire," "stings the viewer...some detail (some accident in the photograph)" (44); "occurs when there is a match between a signifier in the scene (in the photograph), and a scene in the memory" (45)
Wow, Love this shot! Wonderful composition.
