Older Lily: A photograph is made in the mind of the photographer. He points his paintbrush and captures a moment, a temporal thief, he stops the clock for that one instant, and stores it in his camera.

Assistant: You really love it, don't you?
Older Lily: He once told me, The job of an artist is to make order out of chaos. Do you think that's true?
Assistant: Sure. In a film negative everything is the opposite of what it looks like. Black is white, White is black. All the things you expect are switched around.
