"To photograph is to appropriate the thing photographed."

"It means putting oneself into a certain relation to the world
that feels like knowledge--and, therefore, like power."

I've lived my whole life visiting New York City and I can say that I have a special relation to it.  In the photo, I decided to take a picture from the phone's point of view (top).  I also decided to take a pic on what it really looks like when I take a picture (bottom).  It shows that I have control on what I can show on the city, meaning I can focus on what I want to take, while leaving out the rest of it;  I have that "power".
