        Walton's thesis of transparency of photographs has spurred much dispute among critics. One of the popular objections is spatial agnosticism, an argument that concerns the inertia of egocentric spatial information vis-à-vis a photograph. In this paper, I argue that spatial agnosticism fails. Spatial agnostics claim, for a wrong reason, that a photographic image cannot carry egocentric spatial information. I argue that it is the disjuncture of the photographic world in which the depicted object situated from the space in which the viewer of the photograph resides that renders the photograph spatially agnostic. It is the timeless photographic world rather than the photographic object that renders egocentric spatial information inert. With this new formulation of spatial agnosticism, I propose that spatial agnosticism needs to be coupled with the temporal dimension (the A-theory of time) in the efforts to refute the thesis of transparency of photographs.
        Waltono fotografijų permatomumo tezė tarp kritikų sukėlė nemenką polemiką. Vienas iš populiariausių priekaištų yra erdvinis agnosticizmas - argumentas, susijęs su egocentrinės erdvinės informacijos inertiškumu fotografijos atžvilgiu. Šiame straipsnyje teigiama, jog erdvinis agnosticizmas yra nepagrįstas. Remdamiesi klaidingu pagrindu erdvinio agnosticizmo atstovai tvirtina, jog fotografinis atvaizdas negali perteikti egocentrinės erdvinės informacijos. Aš teigiu, kad fotografiją erdviškai agnostišką padaro fotografinio pasaulio, kuriame dislokuotas vaizduojamas objektas, atsietumas nuo erdvės, kuriai priklauso fotografijos stebėtojas. Egocentrinę erdvinę informaciją inertišką daro belaikis fotografijos pasaulis, o ne fotografijos objektas. Pasitelkdamas šią naują erdvinio agnosticizmo formuluotę teigiu, jog, siekiant atmesti fotografijos permatomumo tezę, erdvinis agnosticizmas turi būti papildytas temporaline dimensija (A laiko teorija).
