Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography.

Inspiration - Edward Steichen

The mission of photography is to explain man to man and each man to himself.
                           —Edward Steichen

An example of very early Steichen portraiture, this portrait of Auguste Rodin was taken in 1902. Note the very grainy image as well as lighting technique that would remain popular in portraiture well into the 1970's.
