"Photographs represent our endless battle against time, our determination to preserve a moment: the sweet baby girl before she becomes a difficult teenager; the handsome young man before his body is won over by baldness and fat; the honeymoon trip to Hawaii, before the happy couple become two strangers, living angrily under the same roof. I have a hunch that our obsession with photography arises from the unspoken pessimism: it is in our nature to believe that the good things will not last."
