...to photograph is to frame, and to frame is to exclude.

The photograph is like a quotation, or a maxim or proverb. Each of us mentally stocks hundreds of photographs, subject to instant recall.

The particular qualities and intentions of photographs tend to be swallowed up in the generalized pathos of time past.

What makes me feel strong? Being in love and work. I must work.

The capacity to be overwhelmed by the beautiful is astonishingly sturdy and survives amidst the harshest distractions.

The two ideas are antithetical. Insofar as photography is (or should be) about the world, the photographer counts for little, but insofar as it is the instrument of intrepid, questioning subjectivity, the photographer is all.
