The New Yorker:
John Updike, The Art of the Snapshot. “A little halo of photographic illumination, in other words, accompanies us in our traversal of the decades, and any aesthetic or sociological values that the photographs possess are incidental. With a poignancy peculiar to photographic images, the past is captured while its obliteration is strongly implied.”

My 17-year-old step-daughter discovered her father’s old polaroid camera recently: the pictures are amazing, and the content is so much different than the i-can-shoot-every-second shots that her sisters take on their digital cameras. And don’t underestimate the power of that wide white border!! Her family enjoys buying her film simply because we love the results so much.
