A couple of quotes to start off

Let's start with a classic quote:
"When I first looked at Walker Evans' photographs, I thought of something Malraux wrote: 'To transform destiny into awareness.' One is embarassed to want so much for oneself. But how else are you going to justify your failure and your effort?"Robert Frank, A Statement. US Camera Annual, 1958, p.115.
(Thanks to John Brownlow for turning me on to this quote in the first place.)
And ...
"As a photographer I learn from my camera what I don't fully comprehend in reality."Ralph Gibson
