"I have always disliked being photographed, but I intensely disliked
being photographed by Anna. It is a strange thing to say, I know, but
when she was behind a camera she was like a blind person, something in
her eyes went dead, an essential light was extinguished. She seemed not
to be looking through the lens, at her subject, but rather to be peering
inward, into herself, in search of some defining perspective, some
essential point of view."
John Banville, The Sea.
