\u201cDrop your hands to your sides; they are heavy weights now at the ends of your arms [\u2026] reach out and grasp this photograph \u2014 small indistinct city street damp black pavement \u2014 mounds of earth to the left, poles, long low building, high bright spot from arc-lamp on its standard etc. in the low flat landscape. The muscles in your arms are rigid, the glossy photo surface crinkles in the clutching fingers of your hand your hand the knuckles now gone white. \u2026 (It\u2019s the location of the camera which most often determines the character of the particular space \u2014 physically you are transferred right there.) As you clutch the photograph the image \u2014 a particular space \u2014 street curbstones, neat lawns etc., slips, vibrates, collapses under the pressure of your desires. All other photographs clatter on the floor. Now you are left with a single valued section \u2014 a single construction \u2014 and does it admit others? This condition of attachment will never admit of the \u2018theory of sequences\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
