'The last century has seen the development of 
photography, and photographic process [become] 
one of the most important means of making visual 
records that has ever been known. Today available 
to all the world and so common and so cheap that 
it is taken as a matter of course and without 
thought, photography has become as integral a 
part of our actual life as printing (with which 
socially and economically it is so closely allied). It 
is hardly overstating the case to say that it has 
brought about an even greater revolution in our 
visual knowledge and practice than printing did in 
our verbal knowledge and practice.' William M. 
Ivins, Jr. - 1929
This statement from 1929 is more true today than then. My friend and colleague Ira has bugged me about blogging more. He's right I should do that. OK let's see if I can work it into my day.
