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

“I see my photography as the expression of a perpetually inventive mind, and all that goes with it, including the doubts and fears, but above all the strong sentiment of never being in the right place.<\/em>” — Alistair Magnaldo<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat would happen if you gave a camera to the Afghan girl in Steve McCurry\u2019s iconic photo? How different would those photographs be? Not to replace the Steve McCurry\u2019s, but rather to create another chair at the table of the dialogue of what it means to be human. It\u2019s not an either\/or. It\u2019s not a good or a bad. It just simply is.There are voices out there that have incredible vision, and we aren\u2019t accessing them enough.<\/em>\u201d \u2013 Chris Rainier<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cYou must keep sending work out; you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you\u2019re working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success \u2013 but only if you persist.\u201d ? Isaac Asimov<\/p>\n
