In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.
Everything is relative except relatives, and they are absolute.
The goal of art was the vital expression of self.
The arts equally have distinct departments, and unless photography has its own possibilities of expression, separate from those of the other arts, it is merely a process, not an art.
Wherever there is light, one can photograph.
