Actually, I'm not all that interested in the subject of photography. Once the picture is in the box, I'm not all that interested in what happens next. Hunters, after all, aren't cooks.

Mark Meinke

The key is to continue to look at the big picture. We just have to keep sticking together and tweaking to get over the hump.

Gerry Mcnamara

We never got a great picture.

Thomas Hamilton

We need to be careful that we don't over-interpret a snapshot of the corner as giving us the entire picture.

Richard Bull

Until we have a clearer picture ... there won't be a situation where new aid would be given.
