Yes! This is about Photography!

Everything is connected to everything else.

“So I have done what I wanted to do, I have seen everything, misery, celebrity, the beautiful people, the wicked ones, generosity and hatred. But I think I have gone beyond my vision…. In the heart of my own life, in the heart of other people’s lives. Perhaps that is the most important thing I have done.” Bruce Davidson

“Most of my pictures are compassionate, gentle and personal. They tend to let the viewer see for himself. They tend not to preach. And they tend not to pose as art.” Bruce Davidson

“Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited and the wealth and confusion man has created.” Edward Steichen

“Photography is a major force in explaining man to man.” Edward Steichen
