Photography helps us to ponder history, see other cultures, and find refuge in beauty. It is always working; aiding art and science, confirming facts, identifying people and places, or encouraging our moral imaginations. Its directness, as well as its rich nuances expand our knowledge of the world, both past and present. Instead of a little more understanding and care leaking out from the world, at its best, photography stems the flow of ignorance, of lost consciences, or forgotten beauty.
-Carol McCusker, Curator
