"Once the photographic image enters the world, the world itself is changed- it becomes something to contemplate, to revere, to examine and classify. What the photograph displaces is not- as is usually claimed- the art of painting but that of writing: the keeping of a diary, the writing of letters, as means to sift the blur of the everyday and to arrange it into the sense of a life, have disappeared. The camera has replaced them as a means to record and memorialise our lives"- by Sunil Khilnani in Dayanita Singh's book 'The House of Love'.

By Mahesh Bhat on Photobooks
I sometimes feel that memories are the only reality in this completely ephemeral life and photo-books help the reader immerse in that reality.
Photo books stand the test of time. A book produced eight decades ago can still be enjoyed, the photographs tell us so much more than words.
