Quotes of the Day : Nan Goldin

QUOTES OF THE DAY

 + Selected Works by Nan Goldin

"I always thought if I photographed anyone or anything enough, I would never lose the person, I would never lose the memory, I would never lose the place. But the pictures show me how much I've lost."

"My desire is to preserve the sense of peoples' lives, to endow them with the strength and beauty I see in them. I want the people in my pictures to stare back. I want to show exactly what my world looks like, without glamorization, without glorification."

PS Many thanks to those who have left me comments, it is a great motivation and support to someone who has just started blogging and is obviously enjoying the fun of sharing!
