On the need for photography

"Photography is a medium in which if you don’t do it then, very often you don’t do it at all, because it doesn’t happen twice. A rock will probably always be more or less there just the way you saw it yesterday. But other things change, they’re not always there the day after or the week after. Either you do it or you don’t." –Paul Strand

Wise insight from one of the more creative visual artists of the last century. You could take a shot of the same place or object a hundred days in a row and something will be different each time. Every photo is a 1-of-1 edition. It's a good reminder of the scarcity of the small moments flying all around us, day in and day out, that happen only once in that exact way.
