Content preview from The Darkroom Cookbook, 5th Edition

I believe the function of the artist in all media is a creation of affirmations, the search for and the realization of beauty.

The function of art includes an establishment of communication, at the imaginative and constructive level, and placing the emphasis of thought and emotion in relationship to an ideal world.

The glorification of decay, filth, disease, despair, and evil succeeds only in blunting our necessary awareness of these negative qualities…

I believe the artist can accomplish most on the agenda for survival by creating beauty, by setting examples of beauty in order, by embracing the concept of the essential dignity of the human mind and spirit.
