Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.Β
--Pablo Picasso
Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.Β
--Salvador Dali
βWe take pictures because we can't accept that everything passes, we can't accept that the repetition of a moment is an impossibility. We wage a monotonous war against our own impending deaths, against time that turns children into that other, lesser species: adults. We take pictures because we know we will forget. We will forget the week, the day, the hour. We will forget when we were happiest. We take pictures out of pride, a desire to have the best of ourselves preserved. We fear that we will die and others will not know we lived.β

Art is not predictable. Art is not golf, as great as that may be. There are 360 degrees of choice to make.
