[6-28] "Photographing people"

In photography, one first chooses what to photograph:

It may be cars, for those affectionate to cars. It may be scenery by those moved by scenic views. It may be wildlife, by those who prefer to shoot but not with firearms. It may be races so long as one feels some interest in it; or scenes of war seen through an intrepid person's lens. It may be interstellar objects, like galaxies we cannot visit, and the sun, should one not blind themselves in the process; or, pieces of algae, or protozoa, or protons and neutrons, maybe electrons too. It may be products, like backpacks or beauty creams, or cigarettes, or brands of alcohol that target the young, or cameras themselves: we gaze at these just before making the purchase. It may be clothes, worn or without people. It may be the streets of a city, in renewing a repository of images that populate Google's visual landscape of roads major and minor. There is an incalculable variety of objects we may photograph, and for each, many good ways of doing so. We may photograph buildings under construction, or those on the brink of collapse; we may photograph paintings, castles, farms, viticulture, monument, college campuses, graffiti; octopuses or zebras (your choice); geologic formations; beaches; forests; musical instruments; state fairs; we may also photograph people.

photograph = an array of dots produced by the semblance of physical objects from which light is emitted or reflected
