Catalogue Essay
"The unique quality in photography is a combination of rigidity, based on the pure physical, scientific facts of life and the possibility of controlling that rigidity. You don’t take a photograph, you make it. Expression is the strongest way of seeing.” – Ansel Adams, Time Magazine, 3 September 1979
