8 | цитат о фотографии

я на себя ужасно злюсь из-за того, что забываю писать сюда, из-за того, что жутко не хватает времени и сил. каждый день говорю себе, что  нужно принять за привычку писать хотя бы один раз в неделю, но пока не выходит. 

но я хочу этим заниматься, и ни за что не брошу это делать. 

сегодняшний пост будет о цитатах (серьезно?!), которые мотивируют меня, не дают мне бросить то, чем я занимаюсь.

1. “There are no bad pictures; that's just how your face looks sometimes.” 

― Abraham Lincoln 

2. “All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt.” 

― Susan Sontag

3. “It is a cruel, ironical art, photography. The dragging of captured moments into the future; moments that should have been allowed to be evaporate into the past; should exist only in memories, glimpsed through the fog of events that came after. Photographs force us to see people before their future weighed them down....” 
― Kate Morton, The House at Riverton

4. “The Earth is Art, The Photographer is only a Witness ” 
― Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Earth from Above

5. “A photograph is a moral decision taken in one eighth of a second. ” 
― Salman Rushdie, The Ground Beneath Her Feet

6.  “A portrait is not a likeness. The moment an emotion or fact is transformed into a photograph it is no longer a fact but an opinion. There is no such thing as inaccuracy in a photograph. All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth. ” 
― Richard Avedon

7. “When I look at my old pictures, all I can see is what I used to be but am no longer. I think: What I can see is what I am not.” 
― Aleksandar Hemon, The Lazarus Project

8. “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 Sontag, On Photography
