Famous quotes containing the word photographs:

    “A way of certifying experience, taking photographs is also a way of refusing it—by limiting experience to a search for the photogenic, by converting experience into an image, a souvenir. Travel becomes a strategy for accumulating photographs.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “The charm, one might say the genius of memory, is that it is choosy, chancy, and temperamental: it rejects the edifying cathedral and indelibly photographs the small boy outside, chewing a hunk of melon in the dust.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    “As photographs give people an imaginary possession of a past that is unreal, they also help people to take possession of space in which they are insecure.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
