How foolish of me to believe that it would be that easy. i had confused the appearance of trees and automobiles, and people with a reality itself, and believed that a photograph of these appearances to be a photograph of it. it is a melancholy truth that i will never be able to photograph it and can only fail. i am a reflection photographing other reflections within a reflection. to photograph reality is to photograph nothing.
Confused Believe Reflection
A photograph never grows old. you and i change, people change all through the months and years but a photograph always remains the same. how nice to look at a photograph of mother or father taken many years ago. you see them as you remember them. but as people live on, they change completely. that is why i think a photograph can be kind.
Inspirational Change Wise
This is a photograph, so it is as you see: there are no lies and no deceptions. one can detect here, elevated to an incomparably higher level, the same pathetic emotional appeal that lies concealed in every fake spiritualist photograph, every pornographic photograph; one comes to suspect that the strange, disturbing emotional appeal of the photographic art consists solely in that same repeated refrain: this is a true ghost... this is a photograph, so it is as you see: there are no lies, no deceptions.
Art Lying Emotional
As far as the surface is concerned - oil on canvas, conventionally applied - my pictures have little to do with the original photograph. they are totally painting (whatever that may mean). on the other hand, they are so like the photograph that the thing that distinguished the photograph from all other pictures remains intact.
Art Mean Hands
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.
