Susan Sontag and Photographic Observations

I explore Susan Sontag's idea about observation and photography during a brief trip back east, while shooting on my newly acquired Zeiss 28mm Distagon lens.

Susan Sontag wrote in "On Photography" that photography greatly expanded what was observable and what was worth looking at. But as I engage with all the photographic content available on the web and my photography, I wonder if we are being good observers or just throwing images around. This is how I engaged these ideas for a few hours.

Gear featured in the video:
► Lumix S1R camera and Zeiss Distagon 28mm F2 lens
