This administration illegally denied hundreds of people due process, then deported them to a country they’ve never known, run by an authoritarian infamous for cruel treatment of prisoners. They then deceived a federal judge to buy time for the planes to land so he couldn’t do anything about it.

..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. Robert Adams #blackandwhitephotography #mono #monochrome #swamp #landscapephotography

Our mind is the canvas on which the artists lay their colour; their pigments are our emotions; their chiaroscuro the light of joy, the shadow of sadness. The masterpiece is of ourselves, as we are of the masterpiece. Okakura Kakuzo

“I really didn’t have much to teach. I didn’t even believe in it. I felt so strongly that everybody had to find their own way. And nobody can teach you your own way in terms of art, the only real answer that I know of is to do it. If you don’t do it you don’t know what might happen” Harry Callahan
