What's happening is that people are making a billion photographs a year of their cats, frequently with the cats wearing costumes. Do you think I should be doing shows of cat photography?

Photography is a contest between a photographer and the presumptions of approximate and habitual seeing. The contest can be held anywhere.

In practice a photographer does not concern himself with philosophical issues while working; he makes photographs, working with subject matter that he thinks will make the pictures.

Whatever else a photograph may be about, it is inevitably about photography, the container and vehicle of all its meanings.

To quote out of context is the essence of the photographer's craft.

The goal is not to make something factually impeccable, but seamlessly persuasive.

It isn't what a picture is of, it is what it is about.
