To me, this photo demonstrates what Susan Sontag was describing, how it has become customary to document every part of an event or vacation with a photograph. It's almost as if the photo is needed to even prove that it ever existed. I love how the "group photo" has become so customary that even when someone doesn't even want to take the photo they go along anyway because that's just the way things are done.
