Annie Leibovitz 'Pilgrimage'

"As a historian, nothing matters more to me than the chance to wander through the rooms where my subjects lived and worked, to imagine them coming down the stairs for breakfast, writing steadily at their desks, entertaining guests at dinner, settling down in their favourite chairs to read. The people may be gone, but the houses remain. The landscape may have changed, the furniture, rugs, and draperies may be only the best representation of what was thought to have existed at the time, and yet, somehow, as one moves from room to room the people who lived there are brought to life."

This is a quote from Annie Leibovitz and I feel this explains my work very well as it is what I am aiming to do with my films, as well.
