I've always thought photography was an art form, but it had very low appreciation in the beginning, except for some Europeans, and of course Stieglitz. Stieglitz always considered photography to be an art form and is the "father" of the creative concepts of the twentieth century.

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.

Myths and creeds are heroic struggles to comprehend the truth in the world.

A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into.

Photographers and artists contribute a lot to the world and have a right to exist in relative security and comfort.

I think photography is being recognized and collected. Its values have certainly gone up and continue to go up.

I know that I am one with beauty and that my comrades are one. Let our souls be mountains, Let our spirits be stars, Let our hearts be worlds.
