I did not realize how frequent people or me taking pictures of pictures until I read this article. Indeed, whether consciously or subconsciously, people like to take pictures when browsing in museums and galleries, some people might be doing it for indicating that they have been to here and have seen this picture; or some people, especially for artists and photographers like to taking pictures of those photograph as a recording purpose, because they could use it as a reference or education purpose. However, since many people are using the screen of the camera to “look at” the pictures instead of their eyes, they might be neglecting the details and meanings of the photo which is also an art piece. Not only the meaning, but also a very important thing — the angle that the photographer took which suggesting the viewer to look at from but not the twisted angle that various people have from different framing aspects. Because of picture is a form of art, in this article, the writer is trying to arouse modern people’s attention to start thinking that they are actually doing something funny by taking pictures of pictures as well as suggest people to really viewing the pictures by their eyes.
