Chapter 4

Ritchin begins chapter four discussing the two catagories that photographs used to be able to be put into. Now, as we are fully immersed in the digital photo age, a third group has opened up and it is defined as mosaic photos. These images are unlike others in the sense that they allow for further investigation of not only that image, but any images that relate to it. How interesting would it be to have the ability to choose one aspect of a picture and then be lead to more based off the same concept. It's like the choose your own adventure of the 21st century. Though this idea does sound new and exciting, I don't think it is nescessary for every photo. Sure some pictures need explanation, but I think the ability to effortlessly keep clicking through photos, espcially those that hold deep meaning or importance, without stopping and truly studying the content will prove to be a huge mistake.
