Photographers are often transformed by their own work. They should look at themselves every now and again to make sure they haven't become some kind of beast. If they have, they should understand they still have to look at that beast in the mirror every day.
Photography is still the most basic form of magic. Caught in my ‘box of darkness’, the image becomes immortal.
From the book: "A few of the legends" by Peter Adams.
The photograph is something, in its highest form that I am giving for my effort. It is not something that I take. And then after I bring it back, develop it, print it, look at it, experience it again, I submit my experience to life. I give it back to the world, it came from. Light into darkness. Darkness into Light.
