"Naive
or commercial or merely utilitarian photography is no different
in kind from photography as practiced by the most gifted professionals:
there are pictures taken by anonymous amateurs which are just
as interesting, as complex formally, as representative of photography's
characteristic powers as a Stieglitz or a Walker Evans." Susan
