I appreciate the quote. I really am interested in exploring the "us" and the "we" of picture taking as I think maybe there is more insight to found in my work through that avenue of thinking, but I imagine it all comes back to the "me" in the end? So in this, yes you are exactly right. :) Davin Thanks for this. I appreciate the quote.
