"When I first became interested in photography, I thought it was the whole cheese. My idea was to have it recognized as one of the fine arts. Today I don't give a hoot in hell about that. The mission of photography is to explain man to man and each man to himself."— Edward Steichen
I'm not so sure that any man can truly explain anything to other men/women. I do believe that the camera has the potential to provoke thought, awareness, compassion, concern. That seems to me to be a worthwhile undertaking.
