To photograph is to appropriate the thing photographed. - Susan Sontag

The problem isn’t that people remember through photographs but that they remember only the photographs.

"Work is experienced as discipline — the background of which is ascesis — even though it also gives pleasure. One is allowed to become "depersonalized" in work, to forget the self (to lose contact with its most intimate feelings and needs) — indeed all that is necessary if one is to give oneself fully to the work."
