Photography is choosing where to point your eye-cone.

The photographer’s vision convinces us to the degree that the photographer hides his hand.

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

The invention of photography provided a radically new picture-making process - a process based not on synthesis but on selection. The difference was a basic one. Paintings were made - constructed from a storehouse of traditional schemes and skills and attitudes - but photographs, as the man on the street put, were taken.

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