“I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.” Garry Winogrand

“ the insatiability of the photographing eye … photographs alter and enlarge our notions of what is worth looking at and what we have a right to observe.” Susan Sontag

“… troubled by the way photography inexorably beautifies … Walter Benjamin observed …. the camera ‘is now incapable of photographing a tenement or a rubbish-heap without transfiguring it. Not to mention a river dam or an electric cable factory; in front of these, photography can only say, ‘How beautiful’.” Susan Sontag on Benjamin
