If i was concerned about being accepted, i would have been doing ansel adams lookalikes, because that was easily accepted. everything i did was never accepted...but luckily for me, my interest in the subject and my passion for the subject took me to the point that i wasn't wounded by that, and eventually, people came around to me.

More From Duane Michals

Quality doesn't mean deep blacks and whatever tonal range. that's not quality, that's a kind of quality. the pictures of robert frank might strike someone as being sloppy-the tone range isn't right and things like that-but they're far superior to the pictures of ansel adams with regard to quality, because the quality of ansel adams, if i may say so, is essentially the quality of a postcard. but the quality of robert frank is a quality that has something to do with what he's doing, what his mind is. it's not balancing out the sky to the sand and so forth. it's got to do with intention.

Good photography is not about zone printing or any other ansel adams nonsense. it's just about seeing. you either see or you don't see. the rest is academic. photography is simply a function of noticing things. nothing more.
Photography Photographer Nonsense
I'm concerned about a better world. i'm concerned about justice; i'm concerned about brotherhood; i'm concerned about truth. and when one is concerned about that, he can never advocate violence. for through violence you may murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder. through violence you may murder a liar, but you can't establish truth. through violence you may murder a hater, but you can't murder hate through violence. darkness cannot put out darkness; only light can do that.
