BUT STILL...
but still we must needs make a difference. We must speak, loudly, art must point out the ludicrous, illuminate the magnificent and illustrate the bizarre. We must capture for all time the amazing combinations of light and artifact that surround us daily, we must look then look again at the world around us and wallow in the innate abilities of mankind to create the most sublime coincidences of composition and juxtaposition.

We must be aware of our position as observer and recorder and take the responsibility seriously, not allowing form to overpower content, or arrogance to overcome insight.
