The Photo Candy Store
Thinking about it, photography really is like candy, isn't it? You got the intensely sweet stuff that you tend to overindulge in and that's really not good for you (think cotton candy), the classic stuff that many people tend to forget about (think Necco Wafers) or the simple classic stuff that will never go out of fashion (think Peeps), you got hard candy and soft candy, etc. etc. etc. But that kind of photography would be what candy? Maybe, just to get the ball rolling, a lot of the Düsseldorf school stuff would be salty licorice, quite the acquired taste, yet ultimately really good for you.
Happy 4th of July, America!
"A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles. It is true that in the meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt… And if we feel their power just sufficiently to hoop us together, it will be the happiest situation in which we can exist. If the game runs sometimes against us at home we must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are at stake." - Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Taylor, June 4, 1798 in The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, p. 1050 (found here)
