| "It is no accident that you are reading this. I am making black marks on white paper. These marks are my thoughts, and although I do not know who you are reading this now, in some way the lines of our lives have intersected... For the length of these few sentences, we meet here. It is no accident that you are reading this. This moment has been waiting for you, I have been waiting for you. Remember me." |

Christ is Shot by a Mugger with a Handgun and Dies. The Second Coming had Occurred and No One Noticed, 1982Duane Michals was born during the depression. He is a self taught photographer, he was 26 when he borrowed a camera from a friend and went to Russia to capture the Cold War. The best known photographers in the time were Ansel Adams and Robert Frank. What makes Michals a master at what he does is the way he choose his own way. He asks the questions most photographers never think about. He digs deeper than a pretty print. Blurring the lines between photography and philosophy, using a completely unique and legendary approach. He tells a story with his photographs.
