Quotes
“I tend to question photography, not regurgitate it.” — Duane Michals
“I think photographs should be provocative and not tell you what you already know. It takes no great powers or magic to reproduce somebody’s face in a photograph. The magic is in seeing people in new ways.” – Duane Michals
“A photograph is an invitation to look – and to look at looking.” – John Paul Caponigro
