A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.
Life rarely presents fully finished photographs. An image evolves, often from a single strand of visual interest - a distant horizon, a moment of light, a held expression.
Life is not significant details, illuminated by a flash, fixed forever. Photographs are.
Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.
If you are truly successful in capturing the pulse of life, then you can speak of a good photograph.
The end of a picture is always an end of a life.
To take a photograph is to participate in another person's mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time's relentless melt.
A photograph is always invisible, it is not it that we see.
Photography does not create eternity, as art does; it embalms time, rescuing it simply from its proper corruption.
A photograph is a moment - when you press the button, it will never come back.
