“Every year, the memories I have of my father become more faint, unclear, and distant. once they were vivid and true, then they became like photographs, and now they are more like photographs of photographs.”
“It is no accident that the photographer becomes a photographer any more than the lion tamer becomes a lion tamer.”
“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”
“I photograph to see what the world looks like in photographs.”
“Mum has made a little model of Dad - it looks nothing like him, of course, at least not when I compare it with his photographs, but somehow it seems to be more like him than the photographs do.”
“...every beautiful and strange event made more poignant for having been photographed.”
