Elaine Chiew > Elaine's Quotes

“Sontag said, "Life is a movie, death is a photograph." My argument with Sontag is this: a photograph freezes a capsule of time, but it also fires the imagination. In front of the camera, people invent new selves, enact their passion and desire and fancy. Faced with the object of the photograph, people freely interpret what they see, use it as a doorway into the past, sparking new imaginings." (The Light Between Us)”
