My aunt is married to the son of Will Connell, a well known photographer of many, many years ago.
Will Jr. and I talk a lot about "the Old Man," mostly because I'm a photographer, too,
but also since I've been the middleman for auctioning off some of the "Old Man's" gear
(that which isn't a part of the collection at the California Museum of Photography).
Connell wrote a few books. One called "About Photography" was published in
1949. I was given a copy by Will Jr. and I enjoyed it thoroughly. A number of aphorisms
stand out. Here's a good one:
"Every medium suffers from its own particular handicap. Photography's greatest
handicap is the ease with which the medium as such can be learned. As a result, too many
budding neophytes learn to speak the language too long before they have anything to
say."
