Susan Sontag vs. William Eggleston

Susan Sontag is along the same lines as William Eggleston with the fact that the photopgraphy is about interests in life and life itself. Sontag tells us that taking photos back in the day was not a profession but more of a hobby that individuals could take up. Through out the years of photogrpahy it increased into a profession where you could then make money off it and use it as a career. Eggleston makes it clear to us that he takes photos of objects or places that interest him and influence his life in some way. Sontag also beleives just like Eggleston that taking a picture is  like a peice of the world and it represents the reality of life. Sontag states in her essay that "photographs became part of the general furniture of the environment" (Sontag 2). Susan Sontag beleives that photos represents the life we live in and we take photos to keep our selves busy.
