Susan Sontag on Photograpy Summary
- Every thing has been photographed since 1839
- To collect photographs is to collect the world
- Phographs furnish evidence
- The toy of the clever, wealthy, and obsessed
- It seems positively unnatural to travel for pleasure without a camera along
- Photography became a rite of family life
- Most families with children have at least one camera in their home.
- Using a camera appeases the anxiety which the work driven feel about not working when they are on vacation and supposed to have fun
- Photography is essentially an act of non-intervention
- Photographs cannot create a moral position, but can reinforce one
- Photographs are valued because they give information
- Today everything exist to end in a photograph
