"
photography
is
an
instantaneous operation,
both
sensory
and
intellectual
,
an
expression
of
the
world
in
visual terms,
and
also
a
perpetual
quest
and
interrogstion.
it
is
at
one
and
the
same
time
the
recognition
of
a
fact
in
a
fraction
of
a
second
and
the
rigorous arrangement
of
the
forms visually
perceived
which
give
to
that
fact
expression
and
significance."

...
no one at all
we
strolled
in
fascinated
silence
amongst
the
images
in
the
museum
.
Along
one
hall
were
duotone
images
of
desolate
nature
and
unbuilt
architecture
,
in
the
other
hall
, abstract nudes,
half
submerged
in
water
,
the
contours
of
bodies
reflected
at
themselves
from
the
underside
of
the
water's surfaces
and
on
the
wall
,
a
quote
from
Sir Francis
Bacon
that
summed
up
one
of
the
things
I
was
and
have
been
so
intrigued
by
about
her
for
all
this
time
:
"
There
is
no
such
perfect
beauty
that
hath
not
some
strangeness
to
it
"
