Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow. Every job is a self portrait of the person who did it… Autograph your work with excellence.

The length of exposure (one minute in sunlight) is still too long for the portrait. It was fifteen minutes when I first began my work. Progress may continue.

If one could make alive again for other people some cobwebbed skein of old dead intrigues and breathe breath and character into dead names and stiff portraits. That is history to me!
