140. To the complaint, “There are no people in these
photographs,” I respond, “There are always two
people: the photographer and the viewer.”

We tray to grab pieces of our lives as they
speed past us. Photographs freeze those
pieces and help us remember how we were.
- Gene McSweeny
They used to photograph Shirley Temple
through gauze. They should photography me
through linoleum.
- Tallulah Bankhead (1903-1968)
