Exhibition and Storage

Susan Sontag suggests that the reason we collect photographs “is to collect the world. Movies and television programs light up walls, flicker, and go out; but with still photographs the image is also an object, lightweight, cheap to produce, easy to carry about, accumulate, store,” therefore, "cameras go with family life” and the photographs we take document a personal journey through life while conforming to social habits of family interaction.

Is how we store and exhibit photographs a reflection of how we interact with them and does it mean we care more for our family and friends by keeping images of our loved ones close at hand?
