Emerson

  

“Neither camera, nor lens, nor film determine the quality of pictures; it is the visual perception of the man [sic] behind the mechanism which brings them to life. Art contains the allied ideas of making and begetting, of being master of one’s craft and able to create. Without these properties no art exists and no photographic art can come into being.” — Helmut Gernsheim, 1942
