"Photography does not create eternity, as art does; it embalms time, rescuing it simply from its proper corruption."
    -- André Bazin (1918-1958), French film critic. “The Ontology of the Photographic Image,” What Is Cinema? (1958-1965, trans. 1967)
"Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter."     -- Ansel Adams
