"To
photograph is to appropriate
the thing photographed. It means putting oneself into a certain relation to the
world that feels like knowledge - and therefore, like
power." by Susan Sontag
This is a very powerful quote. I feel like it says to be one with the object or
person being photographed. The photographer has all the "
power"
of how they want the
photograph to look. A
photograph, by definition, is an
image, especially a positive print, recorded by a camera and reproduced on a
photosensitive surface. There is an old Chinese proverb that says, "
In every picture there's a poem; in every poem, a picture."
