“I have a hunch that our obsession with photography arises from an unspoken pessimism; it is our nature to believe the good things will not last. . . But photos provide a false sense of security> like our flawed memory, they are guaranteed to fade. . . . We take photographs in order to remember, but it is in the nature of a photograph to forget (pg 157)” BelieveLastsRememberOrderMemoriesForgetSecurityPhotographyGood ThingsPhotographAriseObsessionPessimismFadesFlawedUnspokenHunchesFalse Sense Of Security Author:Michelle Richmond
“Every story is flawed, every story is subject to change. Even after it is set down to print, between covers of a book, a story is not immune to alteration. People can go on telling it in their own way, remembering it the way they want. And in each telling the ending may change, or even the beginning. Inevitably, in some cases it will be worse, and in others it just might be better. A story, after all, does not only belong to the one who is telling it. It belongs, in equal measure, to the one who is listening.” PeopleWayWantMayDoeBookStoriesMightRememberCasesSubjectsListeningGoes OnEqualPrintFlawedImmuneAlterations Author:Michelle Richmond
