Photography Quotes

I loved the way a photo could capture a moment... before it was gone.

It's a lie. It's a bunch of sad strangers photographed beautifully, and… all the glittering assholes who appreciate art say it's beautiful 'cause that's what they wanna see. But the people in the photos are sad, and alone… But the pictures make the world seem beautiful, so… the exhibition is reassuring which makes it a lie, and everyone loves a big fat lie.

Where our eyes are never closing.
Our hearts were never broken,
And time's forever frozen, still.

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Was it a dream?
Is this the only evidence that proves
A photograph of you and I?

— l blinked.
— Well, you're lucky. l'm blind.

Funny Quotes

I found a note with your name
And a picture of us
Even though it was framed
And covered in dust
It's the map in my mind that sends me on my way.

When you take a photograph what you do is freeze something that is actually alive. To do this property you need, more than anything, to believe in life.

Sea Wall

Alex (Andrew Scott)

..it is confusing to come across a youthful photograph of some one known in a rounded maturity and gaze with a shock upon a fiery, wiry, eagle-eyed stranger.

— Why am I so happy?
— Because I say you are.
