Around The Circle

Processes have been simplified, cameras have become more fearfully and wonderfully made, lenses have acquired a flatter field, and some of them can conjure a foreground out of the dim distance; societies and conferences have multiplied, technique has, up to a point, improved, and all the world produces good photography; many reach the dead level of excellence, but how few get beyond! What a pity, in one sense it is that we do not have more that contains the "little more"; but, it is good to know that there is something not easily reached still left in photography.
