Sontag

Sontag writes, "Harrowing photographs do not inevitably lose their power shock. But they are not much help if the task is to understand. Narratives can make us understand. Photographs do something else: they haunt us.
When we really evaluate the facile understanding we arrive at from ,just, looking at war photography, is it really an understanding? Do you honestly feel that from looking at a photo that have an understanding of the action taking place, is a photograph is meant to enlighten you about a matter or merely "haunt" and "shock" you? Explain.

A photograph is an image that is left in your head, perhaps forever, perhaps not. Depending on how appealing to the eye it may be, it will be how long if, at all,someone will remember it. the more shocking it is the more time you will probably memorize it and have to deal with it, have all those thoughts concerning if it was really real or just and enhancement from a photographer that wants to show more than just the truth....photographs are just shocking and either way they are going to haut you forever.. no matter what type..
