Deborah Klochko, Picturing Eden (Rochester: George Eastman House, 2006), pl. 77
'I see poetry as the medium most similar to photography. . .or at least the photography I pursue. Like poetry, photography is rarely successful with narrative. What is essential is the "voice" (or "eye") and the way this voice pieces together fragments to make something tenuously whole and beautiful.'
– Alec Soth, Sleeping by the Mississippi (Göttingen, 2004), introduction
