> Look at almost any photograph of a loved friend, and what do you see--nothing but a map, a face, but without soul; and [look at] the advantage the artist has in being able to put that expression in the face which is impossible to do with the camera, and [look at] how the public expects us to do for $5 in fifteen minutes what [a painter]... would charge $500 for doing, and take weeks of study. >
