Summary

This quote emphasizes the unique process of photography as compared to other artistic mediums. While painters, sculptors, and other artists start with a blank canvas or raw materials and build their creation from scratch, a photographer captures the finished product directly through the lens of a camera. It highlights the instant nature of photography, where the artist's eye and vision come together to capture a moment or scene in its completed form, without needing to physically construct it.

It is not so much the example of others we imitate, as the reflection of ourselves in their eyes and the echo of ourselves in their words.
