It Is The Photographer, Not The Camera,

Some Photographers Take Reality... And Impose The Domination Of Their Own Thought And Spirit. Others Come Before Reality More Tenderly And A Photograph To Them Is An Instrument Of Love And Revelation.

You Don't Make A Photograph Just With A Camera. You Bring To The Act Of Photography All The Pictures You Have Seen, The Books You Have Read, The Music You Have Heard, The People You Have Loved.

I Have Often Thought That If Photography Were Difficult In The True Sense Of The Term - Meaning That The Creation Of A Simple Photograph Would Entail As Much Time And Effort As The Production Of A Good Watercolor Or Etching - There Would Be A Vast Improvement In Total Output. The Sheer Ease With Which We Can Produce A Superficial Image Often Leads To Creative Disaster.

We Who Are Gathered Here May Represent A Particular Delete, Not Of Money And Power, But Of Concern For The Earth For The Earth's Sake.

A Photograph Is Not An Accident - Is A Concept. It Exists At, Or Before, The Moment Of Exposure Of The Negative.
