A Moment in Photographic History:
Superb photographer Manuel Álvarez Bravo died October 19, 2002. One of the greatest Mexican photographers, Bravo made both beautifully poetic photographs and dark gritty photographs.

A Photographic Quote of Note:
The word 'art' is very slippery. It really has no importance in relation to one's work. I work for the pleasure, for the pleasure of the work, and everything else is a matter for the critics.
