Here is a quote from photographer Duane Michals in a book titled “Fabrications: Staged, Altered, and Appropriated Photographs” by Anne Hoy:

Photography by most photographers is an act of recognition, not invention. This distinguishes it from major art. All good artists invent their own worlds…As a photographer, you can be defined by the medium, or redefine the medium in terms of your own needs. I’m dong the second.

What do you think of what he’s saying here? (leave comment)
