"I want to enjoy the languor of just living, recognizing, acknowledging, taking it in, sort of amplifying it in some way. [Photography] is a great medium for that. It happens in an instant, but it gives you hours or days of time to reflect on things. Itâ€™s a beautiful system, this game of photography, to see in an instant and go back and think about later on. Itâ€™s pure philosophy. And poetry."

-- Joel Meyerowitz
