โAbove all, life for a photographer cannot be a matter of indifference. Opinion often consists of a kind of criticism. But criticism can come out of love. It is important to see what is invisible to othersโperhaps the look of hope or the look of sadness.โ

As long as the fictions are observed the jobs of those who are to enforce the real laws cannot be done. From the office of President of the United States of America, to the local constabulary, none are doing their duty. The social contract is a shambles. It seems very clear.
