What does this rush of images do to us? I believe it is a misunderstanding to think that one is capturing life, but in fact by taking a picture it’s like depicting death. One is confronted with one’s own finitude. Now, in this very moment, an image is created and it will survive me. It touches the retina which exposes its inner view in wonder.
