Appropriate Your Photographed

The quote I have pick from Susan Sontag On Photography was

"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"

I feel like I can relate to this quote in many forms like taking photograph of myself or with others. I really don’t care taking photos but when I take a photo of my self or with friends it’s something. I appropriate because it’s a memory in a photograph that never go away. For example my grandma have many photograph of her self and with others back in the day. She  appropriate  each photo with her brothers and family  who some who our not with us no more to remember the good days. Also it a powerful knowledge to show the younger ones like me her grandson and my cousin who know their family. So, the picture I posted with  quote  is with the people who I care about and myself as well.
