The Mission of Photography

"When I first became interested in photography, I thought it was the whole cheese. My idea was to have it recognized as one of the fine arts. Today I don't give a hoot in hell about that. The mission of photography is to explain man to man and each man to himself." — Edward Steichen

I'm not so sure that any man can truly explain anything to other men/women. I do believe that the camera has the potential to provoke thought, awareness, compassion, concern. That seems to me to be a worthwhile undertaking.
