Nowadays most people from around the world would take pictures of just about anything they find appealing or eye-catching. Whether it is a place they once visited or a piece of art that they really like, they would definitely want to take a picture of it. Taking these pictures has become almost like a momentum to show that they were there to take the picture so in case they never get to see it again. They would also want to take pictures of various stuff to show to their friends, family, and relatives.
Taking pictures of just about anything has become something of a norm that many people do occasionally. Let’s take for example the New York Times article, When the Camera Takes Over for the Eye. In this article, the author discuss about people taking pictures of various art pieces and pictures using their camera or cellphones at Venice Biennale in Venice, Italy. I find that people allowed to take pictures of anything in the museum is a great way for them to capture what they find. They can commemorate what they take in the museum as something they can keep and look at over and over again. It also allows them to take angles of shot in ways that could make the piece of art look different then what you would expect. An example found in the article is a picture of a photographer taking a picture of a cut-out person dressed as a circus juggler who is in position. In the view of the photographer, it looks like the cut-out person is posing for the camera. If the photographer were to share the photo he took with other people, they would probably be amazed at the picture and probably find it more appealing then when they get to see it at the museum. We should be allow to take pictures of anything we like, so that if we never get to see it again, we can always look at our cameras instead.
