Michael Lesy Quotes
| In family snapshots the flow of profane time has been stopped and a sacred interval of self-conscious revelation has been cut from it by the edge of the picture frame and the light of the sun or the flash. |
| Photographers represented occasions once. You dressed for them as you might for church; they cost money, they recorded important moments. |
| You faced front, you seldom smiled, since levity was not the mark you wanted put across your face forever. |
