Susan Sontag; On Photography- notes

Photographs are a reflection of humankind. Documents of history, emotion, memories, perspectives, objects, and environments.
They are used to communicate and acquire information. This enables one to gain knowledge and knowledge is power. However, it is complicated because photography can alter reality and photographs themselves can be altered.
Photographs are fragile. Images in photographs can be preserved by physical duplication of the photograph, placed/printed in books, digitally copied, etc.
