Walter Benjamin writes that photographs lack the "aura," an essential characteristic of other forms of art. The family photo album compensates for this loss of the aura through cultural values and constructs.
Thanks Sam, I'm studying a masters in museology and needed some clarity concerning Bnejamin's idea of the "Aura." Hope your studies went/are going well. Cheers
