Remember, for the pictoralists, the ambiance was of utmost importance. A photograph, like a painting, drawing or
engraving, was a way of projecting an emotional intent into the viewer's
realm of imagination.

| Wall Street by Alfred Stieglitz | "Atmosphere is the medium through which we
see all things. In order, therefore, to see them in their true value on a
photograph, as we do in Nature, atmosphere must be there. Atmosphere
softens all lines; it graduates the transition from light to shade; it
is essential to the reproduction of the sense of distance. That dimness
of outline which is characteristic for distant objects is due to
atmosphere. Now, what atmosphere is to Nature, tone is to a picture." - Stieglitz |
