On Photography

I’m reading Susan Sontag’s book ‘On Photography’. In it she writes about the seminal moment, when, at the age of twelve, she came across a book of photographs in a second-hand book shop. They were of the Holocaust. She writes that from then on her life was split into two parts. The before she saw the photographs, and the after.
