Philosophy of Photography Taking pics is one thing, but understanding why we take them, what they mean, what they are best used for, how they effect our reality -- all of these and more are important issues of the Philosophy of Photography. One of the best authors on the subject is Susan Sontag in her book "On Photography."

Yeah, that's a great clip! Every now and then I get into the idea that photographs are not telling stories, but that they are just patches of light and dark. But then I snap out of it!

It's a great video. It's so great that people should post it over and over again because there will always be new people interested in it. I like the idea that we have no obligation to tell a story!
