Susan Sontag - «All photographs are memento mori...»

Susan Sontag and son, 1965, by Diane Arbus

All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt.
