"Outlive," I guess you mean, rather than "endure." Great question, probably rhetorical (not wishing an answer). I'd tend to suggest, neither one, because of its consciousness of intervening in appreciation/revision/etc. But it would be generous and pleasant of you to remark on the question. :)
outlive, Laurent, is by far a better word. but for how long is the real issue...especially with digital...does a photograph outlive a memory when the very memory of it is gone?

ReplyDeleteis essential to memory.
william maxwell said, "if only one could choose
what to remember and how to remember..."
when we choose what to remember with a photo
is it because that is the memory
we can only bear to live with?
