The photographer Dorothea Lange said that she wanted to make pictures that are
"second lookers" - pictures that reward repeated viewings. It has been my privilege
to assemble an exhibition made up of such photographs. The pictures record what is
"entitled to reverence," as the dictionary defines the word "sacred" - times and places
and people that point beyond themselves. We stand today in particular need of such
testaments.     ~ Robert Adams
