We're fixin' to cross the great state of Missouri to spend Christmas with relatives so what a better way to introduce two photo-related quotes from one of the most famous Missourians -- Mark Twain.

The first is one of my personal favorites -- in fact, it's on the back of my business card.

"You can't depend on your eyes if your imagination is out of focus."


"A photograph is a most important document, and there is nothing more damning to go down to posterity than a silly, foolish smile caught and fixed forever."
