the passing of light, images that pile up and words that keep me grounded
This is why the camera seems to me, next to unassisted and weaponless consciousness, the central instrument of our time; and is why in turn I feel such rage at its misuse: which has spread so nearly universal a corruption of sight that I know of less than a dozen alive whose eyes I can trust even so much as my own.
— James Agee, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, 1939
