"I have not photographed everything yet,
but it is on my list.“
Nobody exclaims,
”isn’t that ugly! I must take a picture of it” Susan Sonntag; The Heroism of Vision
So successful has been the camera’s role in beautifying the world that photographs, rather than the world, have become the standard of the beautiful.”
Susan Sonntag; The Heroism of Vision
“A way of certifying experience, taking photographs is also a way of refusing it - by limiting experience to a search for the photogenic.”
Susan Sonntag; In Plato’s Cave
“The news that the camera could lie made getting photographed much more popular.”
Susan Sonntag; The Heroism of Vision
Most tourists feel compelled to put the camera between themselves
and whatever is remarkable that they encounter.” Susan Sonntag; In Plato’s Cave 1977
