"When that shutter clicks, anything else that can be done afterward is not worth consideration." ― Edward Steichen Topic(s): Art More From Edward Steichen "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. It is a major force in explaining man to man." "I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself." "Every other artist begins with a blank canvas, a piece of paper the photographer begins with the finished product." More In Art "It is the test of a novel writer’s art that he conceal his snake-in-the-grass; but the reader may be sure that it is always there."― Anthony Trollope "Movies were never an art form, they were entertainment. It just evolved into an art form from there, and it’s still evolving in different ways."― David Mamet "Every work of art is an uncommitted crime."― Theodor Adorno
