Summary

This quote by David Bailey highlights the unique challenges and requirements of being a photographer. Bailey suggests that photographers need to possess a significant amount of imagination because unlike painters, they cannot invent or modify their subjects. Since photography captures the reality around us, photographers must train themselves to perceive the ordinary in an extraordinary way. This implies that to truly excel in photography, one must develop a keen eye and be able to identify the remarkable in the everyday, turning the mundane into a work of art.

To a very large extent men and women are a product of how they define themselves. As a result of a combination of innate ideas and the intimate influences of the culture and environment we grow up in, we come to have beliefs about the nature of being human. These beliefs penetrate to a very deep level of our psychosomatic systems, our minds and brains, our nervous systems, our endocrine systems, and even our blood and sinews. We act, speak, and think according to these deeply held beliefs and belief systems.
