See... i just don't agree with this at all. If I shoot a roll of film, i
take them out and look at them. I see that they are pretty. Ooo, sharp too.
Well exposed, even. And you tell me I have failed? That is a heap of warm
cow pies. You're telling me that my perspective is wrong, that I have failed
because somehow my brain interpreted the images to be pretty, sharp and well
exposed.

and it becomes more complex... this quote is even more full of the
aforementioned cow pies if when I see the resulting photographs, they
captured the light *exactly* as I saw it the first time, that is, pretty,
sharp, and well exposed. then to say I have failed is unjustified, because
the person judging has no reference as to what a success is.

I think the quote is entirely wrong, atleast in my current time and space.
