"For me, the Photographer's organ is not his eye (which terrifies me) but his finger: what is linked to the trigger of the lens, to the metallic shifting of the plates (when the camera still has such things). I love these mechanical sounds in an almost voluptuous way,as if, in the Photograph, they were the very thing- and the only thing- to which my desire clings, their abrupt click breaking through the mortiferous layer of the Pose. For me, the noise of Time is not sad: I love bells, clocks, watches- and I recall that at first photographic implements were related to techniques of cabinetmaking and the machinery of precision: cameras, in short, were clocks for seeing, and perhaps in me someone very old still hears in the photographic mechanism the living sound of the wood."

-Roland Barthes, Camera Lucida
