A photograph is life distilled and preserved for eternity. An expressive face, a fleeting moment in nature, an abstract shape- these are the fundamentals of photography. A photograph conveys, in a way no words can, a sense of the mystery and beauty of life, nature, and the achievements of mankind.
"No matter how slow the film, Spirit always stands
still long enough for the photographer it has chosen."
~Minor White, Photographer
The aloofness of a majestic, rocky cliff; the warmth of a fire in the hearth; the affection of a mother for her child; the sorrow of an aged man weeping over his wife's grave...photos capture emotions and atmosphere where words cannot.
"The camera should be used for a recording of life,
for rendering the very substance and quintessence
of the thing itself, whether it be polished steel
or palpitating flesh."
~Edward Weston
Perhaps most importantly, a photograph is something anyone can create. Our website is devoted to teaching the basics of black-and-white photography, so that everyone has the opportunity to permanently record the world as they see it.
