Photography
You put your camera around your neck in the morning, along with putting on your shoes, and there it is, an appendage of the body that shares your life with you. The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.
Dorothea Lange, as quoted in Dorothea Lange : A Photographer's Life (1978), p. vii

There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.
