"While we cannot describe its appearance (the
equivalent), we can define its function. When a photograph functions as
an Equivalent we can say that at that moment, and for that person the
photograph acts as a symbol or plays the role of a metaphor for
something that is beyond the subject photographed."

He also said "Nothing more than 200 yards from the car is interesting."

Of course, those were the days of 30 pounds of camera, film and accessories.

He was one heck of a good photographer, but didn't touch Saint Ansel, IMHO.
