#3 & #4

3. I would agree with this statement. I think that in photography you take a snapshot of a subject, but to pronounce it as photography as a form of artwork makes it have a deeper meaning. I think of photography as images that were thought out before taken to inflict emotion on other people, rather than an picture taken at your friends birthday party. Photography is like any other art form, it has a concept behind every composition. So, I think that photography does deal exquisitely with appearance a physical sense, but it's much more than just the subject matter and what it looks like. The photographer is trying to draw a response out of the viewer, so it's not as it appears to be.

4. I agree and disagree with this quote. I think that when trying to describe a story about physical appearance it is much easier to have an image. For example if you were trying to tell your friend a story about the hiking trip you went on, it'd be much easier to show them photographs, rather than trying to describe with words what it looked like. However I think that when trying to tell a story with a plot, one with an actual story line, it'd be much easier to just describe it with words because a still image of the scenario would only show you how things look, not what happened.
