Consumption
"The final reason for the need to photograph everything lies in the very logic of consumption itself. To consume means to burn, to use up-and, therefore, the need to be replenished. As we make images and consume them, we need still more images: and still more." -Susan Sontag

"Rather than making new pictures, why can't I just recycle some of these old ones? Claim "found" photographs from among my boxes? And have this gesture signify " resistance to further production/consumption"? from P. 96, Long Life Cool White, Moyra Davey
