Is photography an art? There is no point in trying to find out if it is an art. Art is old-fashioned. We need something else.

All my life I have painted pictures so that certain people would drop dead when they looked at them, but I have not succeeded yet. The worst painting cant hurt you, but a bad driver can kill you, a bad judge can send you to the chair, a bad politician can ruin an entire country, That is why even a bad painting is sacred.

It has never been my object to record my dreams, just the determination to realize them.
