Excerpt from The Photo-Miniature, Vol. 6: A Magazine of Photographic Information; April 1904 But when photography is used for what is commonly called pictorial purposes the case is altered. It is no longer desired to exhibit the technical excellences of the process. The mere fact that the photo graph is a true representation, or that the thing represented is interesting, beautiful or unusual, is a matter of secondary importance. A picture is a personal matter; it represents nature as seen with all the preferences and penchant of the producer; and, as the camera and lens have no preferences, and can only be induced to comply with the lean ings of the user to a limited degree, it follows that the picture-maker (to use an unfortunate if convenient term) may have to control or modify the entirely impersonal process in order to pro duce the scene as his temperament made him see it.
