Today anyone can be a photographer -- and most people are.  Sue Davies ... tells us that in England camera clubs have grown ... to nearly 10,000 today.  In New York ... 'every third person is now taking photography courses at the School of Visual Arts'.

To many of the young people today, the idea of going off to a portrait photographer is preposterous.  They are unwilling to submit to his strictures, or to be portrayed only as he wishes....

-- Cecil Beaton, 1975
