Do We Know What We

The Meaning Of Quality In Photography's Best Pictures Lies Written In The Language Of Vision. That Language Is Learned By Chance, Not System.

You See, A Document Has Use, Whereas Art Is Really Useless. Therefore Art Is Never A Document, Although It Can Adopt That Style.

With The Camera, It's All Or Nothing. You Either Get What You're After At Once, Or What You Do Has To Be Worthless. I Don't Think The Essence Of Photography Has The Hand In It So Much. The Essence Is Done Very Quietly With A Flash Of The Mind, And With A Machine. I Think Too That Photography Is Editing, Editing After The Taking. After Knowing What To Take, You Have To Do The Editing.

Many Photographers Are Apt To Confuse Color With Noise, And To Congratulate Themselves When They Have Almost Blown You Down With Screeching Hues Alone-a Bebop Of Electric Blues, Furious Reds, And Poison Greens.

Whether He Is An Artist Or Not, The Photographer Is A Joyous Sensualist, For The Simple Reason That The Eye Traffics In Feelings, Not In Thoughts.
