In the Vault

Posted by Michael Rawluk (Prince George, Canada) on 15 April 2008 in Sport & Recreation and Portfolio.

A Moment in Photographic History:
A USAnian photographer who shot exquisite portraits of Native North Americans, Adam Vroman was born April 15, 1856. He also opened and operated a book and photographic supply store in Pasadena, California. That store is still running.
A Photographic Quote of Note:
Let us first say what photography is not. A photograph is not a painting, a poem, a symphony, a dance. It is not just a pretty picture, not an exercise in contortionist techniques and sheer print quality. It is or should be a significant document, a penetrating statement, which can be described in a very simple term - selectivity.
