Nowadays shots are created in post-production, on computers. It's not really photography.
Mary Ellen MarkA good print is really essential. I want to take strong documentary photographs that are as good technically as any of the best technical photographs, and as creative as any of the best fine-art photographs. [...] I don't want to just be a photo essayist; I'm more interested in single images...ones that I feel are good enough to stand on their own.
Mary Ellen MarkI want my photographs not only to be real but to portray the essence of my subjects also. In order to do that, you have to be patient.
