When I first became interested in photography, I thought it was the whole cheese. My idea was to have it recognized as one of the fine arts. Today I don't give a hoot in hell about that. The mission of photography is to explain man to man and each man to himself.

-- Edward Steichen 爱德华·史泰钦

当我第一次对摄影感兴趣的时候，我认为它是一个完整的奶酪。我的想法是让它被认为是一门艺术。今天我对此毫不在意。摄影的使命是人与人之间以及每个人对自己的解释。
