Good Artists Copy; Great Artists Steal
| Moonrise - Los Angeles, California: photo by Cliff Hutson |
*The expression "Good artists copy; great artists steal" has been attributed to many people. Most famously, perhaps, to Pablo Picasso, but also Steve Jobs among others. I mention this in a vain attempt to compare myself to Ansel Adams.
While I certainly was not thinking about it at the moment I took this photograph when I looked at at it a few days later I realized that it reminded me of a photograph that many many of us have seen over the years. So, that title became the inspiration for mine. Any other resemblance is nearly accidental, ,though it could be said that all creative work builds on what came before.
