Frances Benjamin Johnston: In Their Own Words

Quotes on photography, art, and life

"It is a profession that should appeal particularly to women, and in it there are great opportunities for a good-paying business."

"The woman who makes photography profitable must have, as to personal qualities, good common sense, unlimited patience to carry her through endless failures, equally unlimited tact, good taste, a quick eye, a talent for detail, and a genius for hard work."
