"I was there, and I looked at her and I felt like I was her and she was me, mine and my, mine. I loved her, and her she me the mine I me mine my I felt feel adamant and superfluous and I my your eyes rarely scan printed trees fucking admit it lit. Maybe pictorial accompaniments will enhance its qualité?"

THE PHOTOGRAPH
The Brothel Without Walls

>"My, that's a fine child you have there!" Mother: "Oh, that's nothing. You should see his photograph."

>The movie stars and matinee idols are put in the public domain by photography. They become dreams that money can buy. They can be bought and hugged and thumbed more easily than public prostitutes.

>The avid desire of mankind to prostitute itself stands up against the chaos of revolution.

>Joyce knew more about the effects of the photograph on our senses, our language, and our thought processes than anybody else. His verdict on the "automatic writing" that is photography was the abnihilization of the etym. He saw the photo as at least a rival, and perhaps a usurper, of the word, whether written or spoken. But if etym (etymology) means the heart and core and moist substance of those beings that we grasp in words, then Joyce may well have meant that the photo was a new creation from nothing (ab-nihil), or even a reduction of creation to a photographic negative. If there is, indeed, a terrible nihilism in the photo and a substitution of shadows for substance, then we are surely not the worse for knowing it.
