Friday Quote: “Perhaps every culture leaves markers for the future…”

By cherylmachatdorskind

“Perhaps every culture leaves markers for the future, a means of connecting the dots of linking the past to what is yet to come. The “frozen moment” of photography provides a possible answer to the problem of Heraclitus, that one cannot step into the same river twice. Perhaps one can look at the same photograph twice. Even though our thoughts and our memories change, we change, the perspective through which we look at the world changes, there is the thought that a photograph partially takes us outside of ourselves. That it gives us a glimpse—even though it may be only a two dimensional representation—of something real.”
Errol Morris
From the Book “Believing is Seeing”
(Observations on the Mysteries of Photography)


Wishing you a safe, healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year!
Cheryl
