“As a writer looking at the art of photography, I just couldn’t help but draw analogies to quantum mechanics—the fact that the world exists as something that on its own is essentially undefined, until a photographer comes along with his camera to observe it and, through that observation, to give it meaning. Horribly, I’ve even gone further, wondering whether my observation of the photographic act was in fact changing the nature of the art. It’s a really seductive line of thought, and there are times when I thought it explained everything about how photography has affected the world.”
