The Mundane

Into the Light. Vistoso Condominiums, Boulder, Colorado, 2016

From Susan Sontag, in her book, On Photography:

“And since the 1920s, ambitious professionals, those whose work gets into museums, have steadily drifted away from lyrical subjects, conscientiously exploring plain, tawdry, or even vapid material.”

“To photograph is to confer importance.”

Is it possible to make a passably thoughtful image out of any subject, no matter how mundane, boring, common-place, or apparently empty?

Maybe. Maybe not.
