¬ “I envy paranoids; they actually feel people are paying attention to them.” —Susan Sontag¬ “Life is not about significant details, illuminated (in) a flash, fixed forever. Photographs are.” —On Photography - Susan Sontag ¬ “Photographs were seen as a way of giving information to people who do not take easily to reading.” —On Photography - Susan Sontag ¬ “But when we are nostalgic, we take pictures.” —On Photography - Susan Sontag ¬ “…fashion photography is based on the fact that something can be more beautiful in a photograph than in real life…” —On Photography - Susan Sontag ¬ “Imperfect technique has come to be appreciated precisely because it breaks the sedate equation of Nature and Beauty.” —On Photography - Susan Sontag ¬ “Many people are anxious when they’re about to be photographed…because they fear the camera’s disapproval.” —On Photography - Susan Sontag ¬ “…what moves people is finding something beautiful. …So successful has been the camera’s role in beautifying the world that photographs„ rather than the world, have become the standard of the beautiful. … Photographs create the beautiful and….use it up.” —On Photography - Susan Sontag “The camera is a kind of passport that annihilates moral boundaries and social inhibitions, freeing the photographer from any responsibility toward the people photographed….You are not intervening in their lives, only visiting them.” —On Photography - Susan Sontag
