The Future May Require Not So Much

Photography Is Unlike Any Other Art Form. In The Other Arts There Is Always A Continuous Interplay Between The Artist And His Art. He Has The Painting Or Sculpture Before Him. What We Have Tried To Do Is To Provide A Medium For "artistic Expression" To Anyone With Only A Reasonable Amount Of Time. By Giving Him A Camera System With Which He Need Only Control His Selection Of Focus, Composition And Lighting, We Free Him To Select The Moment And To Criticize Immediately What He Has Done. We Enable Him To See What Else He Wants To Do On The Basis Of What He Has Just Learned.

An Essential Aspect Of Creativity Is Not Being Afraid To Fail. Scientists Made A Great Invention By Calling Their Activities Hypotheses And Experiments. They Made It Permissible To Fail Repeatedly Until In The End They Got The Results They Wanted. In Politics Or Government, If You Made A Hypothesis And It Didn't Work Out, You Had Your Head Cut Off.

It Only Takes A Day To Change Someone From An Anti-intellectual To An Intellectual By Persuading Him That He Might Be One!

All You Have Learned From History Is Old Ways Of Making Mistakes. There Is Nothing That History Can Tell You About What We Must Do Tomorrow. Only What We Must Not Do.

Profundity And Originality Are Attributes Of Single, If Not Singular, Minds.
