Richard Lacayo, in a Time Magazine essay on a photography exhibit on War, made a particularly insightful point: "...even in a world that contains too many pictures, pictures of war, the best ones, still have the power to stir your emotions." With cameras everywhere and photographs being taken incessantly, there is still a power in an iconic image. It has never been the quantity of photographs that count, but the quality. Ever more so now. There is constant change in our lives and in our surrounding universe and always the opportunity to create a powerful image.
