Hi everyone -
Just like last time, post your reflections on the photo exhibit using the “post a comment” link.
Be sure in your response to take Sontag’s arguments into account. Do you think the photo or photos you choose to talk about support some of her claims or not? Why? Pick a specific line of reasoning from Sontag and even use quotations from the text to support your arguments.

The largest and most comprehensive exhibition of Pulitzer Prize-winning photographs ever shown in the United States will open Friday, August 7, 2009, at the Montana Museum of Art & Culture’s Meloy and Paxson Galleries in the PARTV Center, as well as the Gallery of Visual Arts in the Social Sciences Building.
Pulitzer Prize Photographs:
A Traveling Exhibit of Award-Winning Photography
“Capture the Moment: The Pulitzer Prize Photographs,” a dramatic display of award-winning photography, has appeared in 17 cities after initial exhibits in Japan and Korea. More than 2 million visitors have seen the exhibit in the United States since its New York opening in 2000.
From the poignant shot of an ailing Babe Ruth watching his number being retired at Yankee Stadium, to the U.S. Marines raising an American flag atop Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima, the photographs illustrate the enduring power of the still image.
The exhibit includes each of the photographers and photo staffs who have won the prize since the Pulitzer board began awarding it to photographers in 1942.”
