Representation is important to humans in that we are able to
reconstruct a simple scene into something that is beautiful. It may also be
used to provoke thought in how we might look at a certain object and how that
relates to it’s name, which is nothing more than a word to some people. It’s
intriguing to think about what is truly considered artistic photography and
what’s not based on if someone set it up or not. Whether or not a photo tells a
true story was also and interesting thought, with the idea of truthfulness and
trust in the creator of the image. The idea of entrusting photographs to
display history is a somewhat interesting idea because any photograph could be
staged to recreate a historic event, but we as viewers assume that they aren’t.
