    'I believe taking a photograph is an unspoken conversation in a shared space where the sitter and the maker reveal their being in a kind of silent dance of escalating trust and affinity. We look at each other, daydream about each other and those dreams never, ever meet except in the photograph." --Melvin Sokolsky
