Quote of the Day

- H. Ross Perot

"In order to 'give a meaning' to the world, one has to feel oneself involved in what he frames through the view finder. This attitude requires concentration, a discipline of mind, sensitivity, and a sense of geometry. It is by great economy of means that one arrives at simplicity of expression. One must always take photographs with the greatest respect for the subject and for oneself... To take photographs means to recognize—simultaneously and within a fraction of a second—both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one's head, one's eye, and one's heart on the same axis." Henri Cartier-Bresson
