A FAILED ATTEMPT TO PHOTOGRAPH REALITY
"How foolish of me to believe that it would be that easy. I had confused the appearances of trees and people and automobiles with reality itself and believed that a photograph of these transient appearances to be a record of it. I am a reflection photographing other reflections within a reflection. It is a melancholy thruth that I must always fail. To photograph the ultimate reality is to photograph nothing."
