Quick Quotes: William Thakeray

“The two most engaging powers of a photograph are to make new things familiar and familiar things new.”
~ William Thackeray

It’s been some time since I last posted a photography quote and I found this one quite compelling. To me it means that the most compelling photographs are the ones that depict the exotic in a way that connects with people and makes them feel a sense of personal involvement as well as ones that depict common things and locations in a way that lets people see beauty in the mundane.
