“Photographs do not render reality–realistically.
It is reality which is scrutinized, and evaluated, for its fidelity to photographs.
Instead of just recording reality, photographs have become the norm
for the way things appear to us, thereby changing the very idea of reality,
and of realism.”
— Susan Sontag

In Tom’s notes under,
“Nostalgia For Lost Illusions,”

“A person becomes a writer
Because they are deficient.
They have problems.
They are crazy.
They have unhappy families.
They are eccentric, and
Not because they read
A lot of books.”
