You only have to start saying of something : 'Ah, how beautiful ! We must photograph it ! ' and you are already close to the view of the person who thinks that everything that is not photographed is lost, as if it never existed, and therefore in order to really live you must photograph as much as you can, and to photograph as much as you can you must either live in the most photographable way possible, or else consider photographable every moment of your life. Italo Calvino
