Spending a quiet afternoon with this classic. Highly recommended for any fellow photographers out there who want to think more deeply about our chosen medium.
“At our best and most fortunate, we make pictures because of what stands in front of the camera, to honor what is greater and more interesting than we are. We never accomplish this perfectly, though in return we are given something perfect— a sense of inclusion. Our subject thus redefines us, and is part of the biography by which we want to be known.”
