"I think that photography comes in the form of fragments. The nature of the still photograph is that is has the mental status of a fragment. Of course, its a thing complete in itself. But in relation to the passage of time, it becomes that telling fragment of what is left to us of the past: Yes, we were so happy then, we were standing there, and you were very pretty, and I was wearing this, and look how young you were"... that kind of thing. I mean when people take a photo, they don't do so in that spirit, but time changes photographs." (Susan Sontag, The complete Rolling Stone Interview by Jonathan Cott)
