"On the one hand I follow a vocation because I have an ability that I should exercise, but I want to use it for a reason, because I don't see that the freedoms that I enjoy are God-given realities.

-- Wolfgang Tillmans

But there's something about looking at analog movies that's infinitely more powerful than digital.”
