Will Steacy, Photographs not taken: A collection of photographers' essays
"As Marcel Proust understood, memory is not exclusively or even predominantly visual. It is synesthetic, a combination and even a confusion of the senses that no simple image can reach or encapsulate. A photograph can act as a spur to memory, it can yield treasures, like looking under your bed and finding the baseball card you were certain you lost. But an image stands mute before the inexpressible delicacy, horror, humor, and associative complexity of our experience."

"كما أدرك مارسيل بروست، فإن الذاكرة ليست بصرية فحسب، ولا حتى في المقام الأول. إنها تآزر حسي، مزيج بل تداخل وتمازج للحواس، لا تستطيع صورة بسيطة أن تبلغ كنهه أو تحيط به. قد تكون الصورة الفوتوغرافية حافزاً للذاكرة، وقد تجود بكنوز، كمن يبحث تحت سريره فيعثر على بطاقة البيسبول التي كان متأكداً من فقدانها. لكن الصورة تقف صامتة عاجزة أمام الرقة التي لا توصف، والرعب، والفكاهة، والتعقيد الترابطي لتجربتنا."
