    “…painting is something you do. You make a painting. You don’t make a photograph. You see a photograph. Photography is seeing only, you see it, you release the shutter, you use your aperture, your machine and once you’ve seen it, that’s it. It’s done.” Jurgen Schadeberg

Love is the general criterion by which the rare photograph is judged. It must contain it to be not less than the best of which the photographer is capable. – Eliot Porter
