What is a photographer? May that term apply to those of the limited and yet utterly sincere? If so, then we are that thing, seeking to alleviate the dearth of infinitely personalized and “adequate” portrait images (if we understand Herzog’s meaning) by the uncompromising pursuit of that elusive and ever-shifting prize: our best work. Perhaps the best is yet to come; the possibility remains the subject of that masterpiece is none other than you.
