24/7 America

Our assignment was to read Patrick Cox's article, 24/7 America: A Family Photograph Album. Cox explains how Rick Smolan and David Elliot Cohen have taken multiple digital images of the average lives of Americans. For example, they captured images of rural landscapes to celebrations. Cox continues to talk about how photos play such a significant role in every Americans lives. Photos are how we recapture and remember a certain event or special time in an individuals life. The images as the author describes, are not glamorous but representing the true America. The photos are what really happens in individual's everyday lives and not what is seen on television. I enjoyed this article and looking at these pictures because even though the pictures might just be ordinary they are capturing a different memory in every single photo.
