A Favorite Quote

“Photographers can question the notion of authority through the choices they make regarding, among other issues content, process, and context. Artists may challenge authoritative mandates by ignoring them altogether or by proposing alternative ones, and the most provocative challenges may come in the form of the most understated images.” —The Editors, Aperture
