"Camera Art must be completely devoid of logic. The logic vacuum must be there so that the viewer applies his own logic to it and the work, in fact, makes itself before the viewer's eyes. So that it becomes a direct reflection of the viewer's consciousness, logic, morals, ethics, and taste. The work should act as a feedback mechanism to the viewer's own working model of himself."
--Les Levine "Camera Art," in Studio International, July/August 1975

"An object that tells of the loss, destruction, disappearance of objects. Does not speak of itself. Tells of others. Will it include them?"
--Jasper Johns

"I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed."

--Garry Winogrand
