“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.”

- Robert Adams Why People Photograph

“I became a photographer because photographers did have to be wherever they wanted to take pictures, or at least their cameras did. And because there was some connection, inherent in the nature of the medium, between that place and its picture.”

- Charles Harbutt Travelog
