| "All photographs
are there to remind us of what we forget. In this
-- as in other ways -- they are the opposite of
paintings. Paintings record what the painter remembers.
Because each one of us forgets different things,
a photo more than a painting may change its meaning
according to who is looking at it." |

| 'Photography is a
system of visual editing. At bottom, it is a matter
of surrounding with a frame a portion of one's cone
of vision, while standing in the right place at
the right time. Like chess, or writing, it is a
matter of choosing from among given possibilities,
but in the case of photography the number of possibilities
is not finite but infinite.' |

of photography is just as important as that of the
alphabet. The illiterate of the future will be the
person ignorant of the camera as well as of the
pen' |

| "The hyper - realism of the
15 century replaces today's photographs. Figures
painted by Carpaccio or the great Flemish masters.
We are all famous people of the age." |
