Photography Quotes
-

Digital photography is, by definition, unfinished. You don't feel that after every 24 or 36 shots you have to change your film - you know you can go on for ever if you want.

In the interests, however, of the history and future of photography, that risk seems irrelevant, and this flat statement necessary.
Walker Evans
