I prefer a taken to a made photograph.

However much [photographs] may lie, they do so with the raw materials of truth.

The past is useless. That explains why it is past.

The photograph, after all, is just a photograph. Words will determine its meaning and status.

The imagination made us human, but being human, becoming more human, is a greater burden than we imagined. We have no choice but to imagine ourselves more human than we are.

[We] make images to see clearly: then we see clearly what we have made.
