The best place for photography is on the printed page. Photography is subjective documentation. I wouldn’t say that it can’t be art; artists often use the photographic medium to produce works of art. The trouble occurs when photographers deliberately set out to produce fine art. Usually they do not succeed. Yet the photographers who simply record honestly and sincerely the subjects that they feel are significant, often produce pictures which are important, timeless images – almost incidentally.

[cited in: Creative Camera May 1968, p. 158]
