i think On Photography should be read first, especially in refrence to the first few essays, but the last few are really impactful.

I saw someone say they chose to pull up the images Sontag mentions. I absolutely need to reread and do this.

Por más que queramos una imagen o una foto sobre la guerra no será nunca jamás lo mismo que experimentarla, la pasividad que hay detrás de ser espectadora me hace preguntarme cuál es el papel que tenemos como espectadores o si se espera algo de nosotros. Quedan tantas preguntas después de leer este libro, especialmente en esta época de sobresobresobre exposición a imágenes violentas, imágenes veloces y en masa que no quedan en nuestra mente y parece que sólo nos generan apatía e indiferencia.
