#18. Respond: “I think photographs should be provocative and not tell you what you already know. It takes no great powers or magic to reproduce somebody's face in a photograph. The magic is in seeing people in new ways.” Duane Michals

I agree and disagree with statement because although I think there is magic in seeing people in new ways, and capturing that magic takes expertise. I also think there can be magic in capturing what you think you already know and then finding out you don't know it at all. It does take talent to capture someone without making it look like they know they are being captured.
