“All photographs are there to remind us of what we forget. In this - as in other ways - they are the opposite of paintings. Paintings record what the painter remembers. Because each one of us forgets different things, a photo more than a painting may change its meaning according to who is looking at it.” ~John Berger
I agree with this, because a photograph can remind us of how something looked. I mean a photograph is literally a graph of light. In Paintings, we often go off memory and things can get lost in translation. I think that paintings are more subjective than photographs are, both when being created and when being viewed. But of course there are a thousand different ways to photograph something.
