Cotton explains that it does not matter if the person who is behind the camera is a professional or an amateur photographer, but, it is up to them to help photography grow in certain spaces, like museums and galleries. I believe her position is suggesting that there should be an evolution on photography and its concepts aside from the traditional “landscape,” “still life,” etc. I felt like the author made multiple arguments within her essay, some of which has left me confused, however, if I read the part of the growing conceptual part

    As I was reading Susan Griffin’s essay I found the structure confusing to some extent. She talks about one thing, compares it with her life and then jumps to another story.

Griffin, throughout examining others secrets and emotions, she comes to express her own secrets and emotions and know how she became the person she is today.…
