The mission of photography is to explain man to man and each to himself. And that is the most complicated thing on earth.
A portrait is not made in the camera but on either side of it.
Every photograph is a fake from start to finish.
Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face.
When that shutter clicks, anything else that can be done afterward is not worth consideration.
If it were possible for any one person or group of persons to go through a photographic finishing plant's work at the end of a day, you could probably pull out the most extraordinary photographic exhibition we've ever seen. On almost any subject. The trouble is to find the things.
