“If I knew how to make a good photograph, I’d do it every time.” – Robert Doisneau.
“…an exercise in vigilance; the hope of noticing something which will make me understand more clearly what still resists being understood; what still lies obscured but at least now [is] glimpsed.” Dan Frank used these words to describe his role as an editor; in A Symposium on Editing, The Threepenny Review, Spring 2008.
These same words describe well the act of photography (when practiced with a degree of seriousness); photographers work in ways similar to editors.
