I belong rather to a more classical tradition of social analysis.

The really important thing is not to reject anything.

Life is not significant details, illuminated by a flash, fixed forever. Photographs are.

Death is unbearable unless you can get beyond the I.

the process of building a self and its works is always too slow. One is always in arrears to oneself.

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.

False values begin with the worship of things.
