"To paragraph people is to violate them, by seeing them as they can never have; it turns people into objects that can be symbolically possessed. Just as the camera is a sublimation of the gun, to photograph someone is a sublimated murder — a soft murder, appropriate to a sad, frightened time." — Susan Sontag On Photography (1977)
