"The rotation of an image is a very strange thing indeed. A picture, perhaps upside down or sideways can seem magnificent, beautiful, interesesting or consuming. However, often when this seemingly majestic image is restored to its correct rotation, the rotation at which it was intended to be seen, it can appear abhorrent, ugly, dull or repulsive. Out of these words only one is what a picture, image or photograph should never be and that is dull. Insted of this, make an image magnificently ugly, consumingly dull, interestingly abhorrent or repulsively beautiful. That is what makes a photograph, not beauty, not conformity, but the power of thought. Always remember that the rotation at which a picture is taken is the roation at which it began, a rotation is a journey and lie."
