Your quote

The origins of the word ‘photography’ come from the Greek words φῶς (phos), meaning “light,” and γραφή (graphê), meaning “drawing, writing.” The term originates with Sir John Herschel, an astronomer, mathematician, chemist and the inventor of cyanotypes, anthotypes, and photographic fixer.

Writers and photographers have been using their chosen craft to document and make statements about society, culture, and the world as they observe it since photography’s invention in 1839. We want to celebrate this history with photographs inspired by quotes from our favourite writers.
