Quotes<\/strong><\/p>\n

“If the white herons had no voice, they would be lost in the snow.<\/em>” — Chivo<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I am attracted to seemingly “unfinished” works, that are not so full of information that there\u2019s little or no room for the viewer, for audience participation. When I\u2019m not invited to participate I begin to feel disconnected, no matter how awesome the artwork or the artist\u2019s genius might be.<\/em>” — Michael Kenna<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI write in order to express what the photo itself cannot say. A photograph of my father doesn\u2019t tell me what I thought of him, which for me is much more important than what the man looked like.<\/em>\u201d \u2013 Duane Michals<\/strong><\/p>\n
