A friend of mine gave me some of his old
photography books (bless him), and I like this quotation in the front of one of
the books. The book is Mortensen on the Negative, by William
Mortensen, Simon and Schuster, 1940.
The quotation is:
"Dedicated to the real photographers of the world -
to those who, with their second-hand equipment and their makeshift darkrooms,
are today fighting their solitary battles with their recalcitrant medium, not
for money or for glory, but because they would rather make pictures than
anything else in the world."
I just thought PF members would enjoy
it.
