And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again? Archilochus

Enter the Singularity

Susan Sontag, "On Photography"
"A fake painting... falsifies the history of art. A fake photograph... falsifies reality."

--- 

"...The act of photographing is more than passive observing. It is a way of at least tacitly, often explicitly, encouraging whatever is going on to keep happening." 
---

"Cameras are the antidote and the disease, a means of appropriating reality and a means of making it obsolete."
 
---

"Images are more real than anyone could have supposed... If there can be a better way for the real world to include the one of images, it will require an ecology not only of real things but of images as well."
-from Susan Sontag, "On Photography"
