1 Beyond Believing: Insight and Imagination

2 Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be. --- Duane Michals

3 How foolish of me to believe that it would be that easy. I had confused the appearance of trees and automobiles, and people with a reality itself, and believed that a photograph of these appearances to be a photograph of it. It is a melancholy truth that I will never be able to photograph it and can only fail. I am a reflection photographing other reflections within a reflection. To photograph reality is to photograph nothing. -- Duane Michals
