To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It’s at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy. — Henri Cartier-Bresson

What the photograph reproduces to infinity has occurred only once: the photograph mechanically repeats what could never be repeated existentially. – Roland Barthes
