“If you let other people’s vision get between the world and your own, you will achieve that extremely common and worthless thing, a pictorial photograph...there are no short cuts, no formulae, no rules except those of your own living.” — Paul Strand, The British Journal of Photography in 1923 via [Guy Tal](https://guytal.com/wordpress/2017/11/20/the-traditions-of-photography/?ref=cjchilvers.com)
