#10 “All photographs are there to remind us of what we forget. In this - as in other ways - they are the opposite of paintings. Paintings record what the painter remembers. Because each one of us forgets different things, a photo more than a painting may change its meaning according to who is looking at it.” ~John Berger
I agree with this statement. A photo can be interpreted in many ways. I also think a portrait can have a different meaning at different times. A painter and their paintings, on the other hand, interpret their subject at the time of creation and can be interpreted the same every time viewing it. More often then not, portrait pictures are not what they seem.
