“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life.

The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

“I see no reason for calling my work poetry except that there is no other category in which to put it.”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
