The advantage of black and white photos is that they remind you of this search for what can't be seen, for what's missing; never for one moment do they pretend to be complete.
The silence of the unsaid is always working surreptitiously with another silence, which is that of the unsayable.
What's unsaid at one time can be said on another occasion. But the unsayable can never be said - unless maybe in a prayer, and God would know that, not me.
Before the unsayable we are alone.
John Berger
love it! ;D
