A meaningful conceptual basis is always more important than vivid photographs, and vice versa.

Time past cannot be stopped, saved, or regained. But a photograph allows you to borrow it.

Photography has a natural affinity for the strategies of surrealism - the exaltation of chance and eros, the exploration of obsession and the release of the unconscious.

To teach consequential photography, don't bother with Photoshop or f-stops. Create a craving for images.
