Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sectionalism Unmasked "Whoever carries a mental kodak with him (as I suspect I was in the habit of doing long before I knew it), must be aware of the uncertain value of different exposures. This can only be determined by the process of development, which requires a dark room and other apparatus not always at hand; and so much depends upon the process that it might be well if it always be left to someone who makes a specialty of it, as in the case of the real amateur photographer. Then once faulty impressions might be so treated as to yield a pictorial result of interest, or frankly thrown away if it showed hopeless to the instructed eye. Otherwise, one must do one´s own developing, and trust the result, whatever it is, to the imaginative kindness of the reader, who will surely, if he is the right sort of reader, be able to sharpen the blurred details, to soften the harsh lines and to blend the shadows in a subordination giving due relief to the best meaning of the print. This is what I fancy myself to be doing now, and if anyone shall say that my little pictures are superficial, I shall not be able to gainsay him. I can only say that most pictures represent the surface of things; but at the same time I can fully share the disappointment of those who would prefer some such result as the employment of the Roentgen rays would have given if applied to certain aspects of the world." - William Dean Howells, "London Films." Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide, In the strife of Truth with Falsehood, for the good or evil side; Some great cause, God´s new Messiah, offering each the bloom or blight, Parts the goats upon the left hand, and the sheep upon the right, And the choice goes by forever ´twixt that darkness and that light. Hast thou chosen, O my people, on whose party thou shalt stand, Ere the Doom from its worn sandals shakes the dust against our land? Though the cause of Evil prosper, yet amid the market´s din List the ominous stern whisper from the Delphic cave within - "They enslave their children´s children who make compromise with sin." - James Russell Lowell.
