Book cover for On Photography
like every mass art form, photography is not practiced by most people as an art. It is mainly a social rite, a defense against anxiety, and a tool of power.

George Saunders
“Everything was real; inconceivably real, infinitely dear. These and all things started as nothing, latent within a vast energy-broth, but then we named them, and loved them, and, in this way, brought them forth. And now we must lose them.”
George Saunders, Lincoln in the Bardo

Mario Vargas Llosa
“No me preguntes por qué, porque ni muerta te lo voy a decir. Nunca te voy a decir que te quiero aunque te quiera.”
Mario Vargas Llosa, Travesuras de la niña mala

John Berger
“The photographic moment for Cartier-Bresson is an instant, a fraction of a second, and he stalks that instant as though it were a wild animal. The photographic moment for Strand is a biographical or historic moment, whose duration is ideally measured not by seconds but by its relation to a lifetime. Strand does not pursue an instant, but encourages a moment to arise as one might encourage a story to be told.”
John Berger, Understanding a Photograph

Yukio Mishima
“Kensuke and his wife had, like all bored people, a sense of kindness that was close to disease.”
Yukio Mishima, Thirst for Love

John Berger
“The truth is that most photographs taken of people are about suffering, and most of that suffering is man-made.”
John Berger, Understanding a Photograph
