PhotographyI have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term -- meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching -- there would be a vast improvement in total output.

'To the complaint, 'There are no people in these photographs,' I respond, 'There are always two people: the photographer and the viewer.' Ansel Adams (1902 - 1984)
A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know. Diane Arbus (1923 - 1971), (1923-1971)
