Henry James Proposed Asking Of

...i Felt That Photography Ought To Start With And Remain Faithful To The Appearance Of The World, And In So Doing Record Contradictions. The Greatest Pictures Would Then... Find Wholeness In The Torn World.

Change No One. Change Nothing. React To No One, React To Nothing. Do Not Live In The Past And Do Not, Worry About The Future. Stay In The Eternal Now, Where All Is Well. After All You Are Me And I Am You. There's No Difference. Do Not React To The World. Do Not Even React To Your Own Body. Do Not Even React To Your Own Thoughts. Learn To Become The Witness. Learn To Be Quiet.

The Only Things That Distinguish The Photographer From Everybody Else Are His Pictures: They Alone Are The Basis For Our Special Interest In Him. If Pictures Cannot Be Understood Without Knowing Details Of The Artist's Private Life, Then That Is A Reason For Faulting Them; Major Art, By Definition, Can Stand Independent Of Its Maker.

The Only Way You Will Ever Awaken Is Through Silence, Not Through Analyzation Of Facts. Not By Sorting Out Good And Bad, But Through Simple Silence, Letting Go. Letting Go Of All Thoughts, All The Hurts, All The Dogmas And Concepts. Letting Go Of These Things Daily.

What We Hope For From The Artist Is Help In Discovering The Significance Of A Place. In This Sense We Would Choose In Most Respects For Thirty Minutes With Edward Hopper’s Painting Sunday Morning To Thirty Minutes On The Street That Was His Subject; With Hopper’s Vision We See More.
