Photography suits the temper of this age — of active bod-
ies and minds. It is a perfect medium for one whose mind
is teeming with ideas, imagery, for a prolific worker who
would be slowed down by painting or sculpting, for one
who sees quickly and acts decisively, accurately.
—Edward Henry Weston, photographer
