“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
(#10)

I believe any type of art, a photo or a painting, has a perspective. It has a perspective from the artist and the viewer. I think what Berger is trying to say is that photographs are more about what's happening in the moment and being there to capture something, while it's happening.
