You and I would see more interesting photography if they would stop worrying, and instead, apply horse-sense to the problem of recording the look and feel of their own era.” IfsFeelsTryingLooksArtHardProblemInterestingWorryPhotographyArt IsHorseComplexesPhotographerCraftsErasLiftsRealmsInferiorityStop WorryingInferiority ComplexHorse Sense Author:Jessie Tarbox Beals
