“Life is not about significant details, illuminated a flash, fixed forever.

Photographs are.” 

― Susan SontagOn Photography


“To photograph people is to violate them, by seeing them as they never see themselves, by having knowledge of them that they can never have; it turns people into objects that can be symbolically possessed. Just as a camera is a sublimation of the gun, to photograph someone is a subliminal murder - a soft murder, appropriate to a sad, frightened time.” 
― Susan SontagOn Photography
