"My aim is increasingly to make my photographs……" — Alfred Stieglitz
"My aim is increasingly to make my photographs look so much like photographs [rather than paintings, etchings, etc.] that unless one has eyes and sees, they won't be seen - and still everyone will never forget having once looked at them."
