Comment: Quote from Philippe Halsman

I came across a quote that I really like, from a photographer names Phillippe Halsman. It reminds me the discussion of the on-going (still?) discussion about photographer.

“I drifted into photography like one drifts into prostitution. First I did it to please myself, then I did it to please my friends, and eventually I did it for the money.”
