No Other Goal
Being an artist is simply about creating artistic stuff, for no other goal than the pursuit itself and a need to communicate.

To Please Others
Realize that street photography is more about learning about yourself as a human being, rather than just trying to make good photographs to please others.
Eric Kim – The Art of Learning Street Photography
Question Authority

Carl Sagan, The Demon Haunted World
