Nobody has ever taken a photograph of something they want to forget. We can build a wall of happy Kodak moments around ourselves, a wall of our Christmases, birthdays, baby showers and weddings, but we can never forget that celluloid film is see-through, that behind it, all the misery of real life waits for our wall to collapse someday. Rebecca McNutt
About This Quote

When people buy the disposable cameras, they are thinking that the photos will not be seen by other people. But what if someone takes a photo of you? Then that person can tell stories about you. You can’t hide anything from that person, because he has all the photos of your life. If you don’t want to be found, then you can’t keep taking photos of yourself.
