Lines have expression, and by the use of lines alone we can suggest impressions. - Arthur Hammond

There is a tendency among "advanced" pictorialists to neglect the choice of an interesting subject and to trust to an effective pattern to make their pictures interesting. Such pictures are often interesting, but they are interesting more as studies in artistic technique than as pictures.

The artist, and more especially he who uses a camera, must enedeavor to be, not a mere recorder of external facts, but one who forms a vivid mental impression and tries to make us realize his impression.

There is as much difference in the meaning of the words tone and tones as there is in the words nerve and nerves.
