Sontag's reading was an interesting addition to the others for this project. It strongly contrasted the video we watched that stated photography is not a realistic depiction of the world. This article explains photography on almost the opposite spectrum. She describes how photography can preserve a piece of the world for years to come. The idea of photographs being immortal is also suggested. Even though they are delicate objects, they preserve an exact replica of what the world looked like at the time the photograph was taken. This reading pertains to our project, and also provides an argument to the video we watched. It is interesting to have them as comparisons of how people view photography.
