Susan Sontag's relates to photography in a way that she believes everyone should when taking pictures and photographing something you are not used to. She tells the reader that relating to whatever you are photographing is important to focus on the important parts of the subject.
Photographs are important because they are seemingly everywhere. Sontag explains the options photographs have and the options are wide. They are scattered places from photo albums under someone's bed to projected on a powerpoint for a business meeting.
The reason pictures are so important to society is because of the truth behind them. They are evidence and proof of what happened, or what is happening. It is a memory that can last forever with the proper care.
