Susan Sontag - On Photography

"It seems positively unnatural to travel for pleasure without taking a camera along. Photographs will offer indisputable evidence that the trip was made, that the program was carried out, that fun was had. Photographs document sequences of consumption carried on outside the view of family, friends, neighbours." After reading more into Susan Sontag - On photography I come back to this section as I agree strongly, when we go on holiday or a trip it feels almost instinct to carry a camera along to capture our journeys and the way people allover the world live, even after taking random shots of people from Hartlepool has made me seen my hometown in a different light, almost unrealistic because the photographer is shooting the world go by. Susan Sontag not only looks at the photographer's perspective on photography but the subjects and viewers point of view aswel.
