Here's one of my favorite quotes of Alfred Stieglitz, and what he thought about all this . . . speaking of another time - a thought for our era, as well?

"I have all but killed myself for Photography. My passion for it is greater than ever. It's forty years that I have fought its fight - and I'll fight to the finish - single handed & without money if need be. It is not photographs - it is not photograhers - I am fighting for. And my own photographs I never sign. I am not fighting to make a 'name' for myself. Maybe you have some feeling for what the fight is for. It's a world's fight. This sounds mad. But so is CameraWork mad. All that's born of spirit seems mad in these [days] of materialism run riot."
Alfred Stieglitz to J. Dudley Johnston
15 October 1923
