"The man who lives in his eyes is confronted with scenes and spectacles that compel his attention or admiration and demand an adequate reaction. To pass on without pause is impossible; to continue after purely mental applause is unsatisfying; some tribute must be paid. Photography, to many of its addicts, is a means of discharging these ever-recurring debts to the visual world." Edwin Smith (1912-1971).
