I am not interested in showing my work to photographers any more, but to people outside the photo-clique. My pictures are not escapes from reality, but a contemplation of reality, so that I can experience life in a deeper way. ~ Bruce Davidson

I am of a like mind because, in my experience, no one sees pictures as a representation / contemplation of reality better than a non-photographer observer. Which is not to state that picture makers can not do so, but, in fact, most "serious" amateur picture makers (and some "pros") can't get by the particulars of craft / gear/ technique when viewing pictures - for them, the mechanics of the medium just seem to obscure the message(s) thereof.
