It Is All Very Beautiful And Magical

There Still Is Some Opposition To It In Some Museums And Art Schools, But I Think Photography Has Really Grown Into A Mature Art Form.

Let Us Leave A Splendid Legacy For Our Children...let Us Turn To Them And Say, This You Inherit: Guard It Well, For It Is Far More Precious Than Money...and Once Destroyed, Nature's Beauty Cannot Be Repurchased At Any Price.

The Best Picture Is Around The Corner. Like Prosperity.

The Dismal Half-baked Images Of The Average "reportage" And "documentary" Photography Are Self Dammning... The Slick Manner, The Slightly Obscure Significance, The Esoteric Fear Of Simple Beauty For Its Own Sake - I Am Deeply Concerned With These Manifestations Of Decay. Gene Smith's Work Validates My Most Vigorous Convictions That If The Documentary Photographs Is To Be Truly Effective It Must Contain Elements Of Art, Intensity, Fine Craft And Spirituality. All These His Work Contains And We May Turn To His Work With Gratitude, Appreciation And Great Respect.

I Tried To Keep Both Arts Alive, But The Camera Won. I Found That While The Camera Does Not Express The Soul, Perhaps A Photograph Can!
