It is a useful word, especially for a photographer because it implies light—light of overwhelming intensity. The Form toward which art points is of an incontrovertible brilliance, but it is also far too intense to examine directly. We are compelled to understand Form by its fragmentary reflection in the daily objects around us; art will never fully define light.”<br/><br/> - <em>Robert Adams, <em>Beauty in Photography: </em><em><span class="subtitle">essays in defense of traditional values</span></em> (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://aaroncanipe.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">aaroncanipe</a>)</em>http://dieknowingsomething.com/post/21368259652http://dieknowingsomething.com/post/21368259652Thu, 19 Apr 2012 00:46:39 -0400<a href="http://blog.leica-camera.com/photographers/guest-blog-posts/gigi-stoll-medical-journal-kenya-2012/">Leica Camera Blog - Gigi Stoll Medical Journal, Kenya 2012</a>http://dieknowingsomething.com/post/21368244374http://dieknowingsomething.com/post/21368244374Thu, 19 Apr 2012 00:46:15 -0400“A good image is created by a state of grace.
