"Are you a photographer?"

[Hugo Zhang]

"I'm a writer, writing about the today that will be a memory tomorrow."


Hold to the now, the here, through which all future plunges to the past.

----from "Ulysses"

[Kirk Keyes]

Mr. Photographer. Sounds good! Then I could be a true photographer.

Maybe we should all adopt it as our last names so that our names are what we do. Kind of like Mr. Miller, Mr. Carpenter, Mr. Smith, Mr. Archer, Mr. Tanner, Mr. Baker, Mr. Thatcher, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Shepperd, Mr. Wright. And just like the Ramones...

[Dirk Baeumker]

I learned the technique of taking photographs as I learned the technique of writing.

I don't know if the first took me any closer to being a photographer than the second to being a poet.

Actually I've never been asked by anybody if I was a poet.
