The second quote is really interesting because it reminds me of some cultures in which photographs are actually prohibited. In these cultures, they believe that a picture does in fact take from someone's soul and can not be replaced. Although I see the concept, as a practical matter, photographs do an incredible job of capturing the human soul, and not taking away from it. A photograph is a way for us in humanity to save unique things. As we look back just a short time ago, there wasn't an opportunity to capture thoughts and ideas as visually as we have now.
To reflect on the ability of a photograph to capture someone's soul, it is amazing what photographs can truly do. I can think of a few pictures in which just by looking at the picture, you can see into someone's eyes and almost feel what they are feeling. It is amazing really.
