“Recently, photography has become almost as widely practiced an amusement as sex and dancing – which means that, like every mass art form, photography is not practiced by most people as an art. It is mainly a social rite, a defense against anxiety, and a tool of power.” Susan Sontag
Interesting to note that she wrote this back in 1973.

Update to Sontag’s 1973 quote…definitely much, much more a practiced amusement then sex or dancing…at least from my experience. TMI? Lol
Good luck with that snow!
