That was my entrance to this idea of the new ideas being able to be presented in an environment that wasn't being dictated by a profit motive.

That's why we should cling to the others.

People knew less of each other, perhaps, but they felt more free of each other, and so were more individual. The entire world was not for them only a push or a switch away.

We would be bragging of course, but it is surely excusable to put the best possible face on at the beginning of such an acquaintance. We can tell the harder truths later.

Photons come out of nowhere, they cannot be stored, they can barely be pinned down in time, and they have no home in space whatsoever. That is, light occupies no volume and has no mass.

Photography is more than a window for me. Photography is more like a space that tries to capture situations.
