Benjamin argues, that having an original is almost pointless as having a a print it can be reproduced many times over and over, so what would be the point in having the original.

 And i agree. There is no point in having an original at this day and age when it comes to a photograph at least. You can take photo from other peoples facebook have someone email you photos and get them printed so Benjamin was right to ask what the point was.And if the photo is taken digitally and you print it isn't that still thee original since the original is not something you can hold. And to me that's what an original is, something you hold and can claim to your friends that you have.

 In agreeing with Benjamin though, i do like have something original that i can boast about to my friend and isn't whats its for or all it can be now since i cant see its use other than that.
