“There is a 3rd basic way to use the camera – a way that I term “the Transcendence of the Object” – Clarence John Laughlin
“The physical object, to me, is merely a stepping stone to an inner world where the object, with the help of the subconscious drives and focuses perceptions, becomes transmuted into a symbol whose life is beyond the life of the objects we know …”
“Everything, no matter how commonplace and how ugly, has secret meanings. Everything.”
