the Mission of photography
“The mission of photography is to explain man to man and each to himself. And that is the most complicated thing on earth.”
Edward Steichen
What photography records?
“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.”
Edward Steichen
