Susan Sontag // "The vast majority of people, those who could not afford to have a portrait painted, had no record of what they looked like as children. Today, we all have photographs in which we can see ourselves at age six... We have similar information about our parents and grandparents... They make you realize that these people really were children once. To be able to see oneself and one's parents as children is an experience unique to our time. The camera has brought people a new...relation to themselves, to their physical appearance, to aging, to their own mortality."
