"Photography is like a found object. A photographer……" — Hiroshi Sugimoto
"Photography is like a found object. A photographer never makes an actual subject; they just steal the image from the world...Photography is a system of saving memories. It's a time machine, in a way, to preserve the memory, to preserve time."
