Photography is not art. It is something totally new in human experience, something humans have not been able to do until the last century or so. Like flying. Or blowing up the whole world (I hope we survive our inventive little minds). The basic impulse of the photographer is diametrically opposed to the basic impulse of the artist, no matter what the artist’s medium. The artist is trying to bring into existence something (even if only a concept) that never existed before. The photographer is trying to preserve, with the lens and especially the shutter, something in reality that will cease to exist in just that way in the next moment, or hour, or day.
—Charles Harbutt,
from “The Unconcerned Photographer”

"I have been thinking how the body
is a vulture—all avarice and need.
How longing creeps up, stalking
for days, catches with such force
it leaves you breathless."
— Carol V. Davis, from “Need”

Le raccontai. Alla fine mi sentivo almeno un po’ sollevato. La buona vecchia terapia della parola, nel senso di raccontare quello che ti rode, funziona sempre. Buttare fuori tutto. Una specie di idraulica delle emozioni. Sturare l’ingorgo, roba del genere.
Gianrico Carofiglio - La regola dell'equilibrio
