There are many reasons why photography does not attract the social and cultural attention it deserves. I would add one more which has received scant attention: it does not make a lot of noise. ... Perhaps photography would be more appreciated if camera shutters fired with the sound of a .357 Magnum.

Only in art can you make something that no one wants and still be considered successful.

A photograph is a mirror; mostly it reflects the prejudices of the viewer.

Photographers have already photographed everything too many times, except cheese.

I agree, intellectualism in photography is overrated. I just wish it could be replaced by common sense.

Museum collections have given photography rigor, and mortis.

My point is that meaning is always personal, changeable and subjective. There is no 'correct' interpretation of a photograph.
