So many years will be spent searching, studying, classifying, before my life is secured, carefully arranged and labelled in a safe place – secure against theft, fire and nuclear war – from whence it will be possible to take it out and assemble it at any point. Then, being thus assured of never dying, I may finally rest.

- Christian Boltanski from Research and Presentation of All That Remains of My Childhood 1944-150

Yi Fu Tuan

from “Space and Place”

There is something peculiar about the way we attribute the clarity of some photographs to the world itself. I try to reinforce that paradox by making photographs that convince the viewer that those revelations, that order, that potential for meaning, are coming from the world and not the photograph.

— Frank Gohlke, 1979

The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity. - Dorothy Parker

And I don’t have any specific steps to take because I don’t start the same way every time. But there is a knowing when it’s enough and you can leave it alone.
