The Soft Focus Lens
Reading edition
“What changes in the past twenty years, Mr. White, would you say have been most noticeable in photographic work?”
“Well, I would say the most noticeable is what we call the use of the soft focus lens. Secondly, I would say another noticeable change is the better general quality [pg 7] of photographic work. I feel that the photographers of today have a better idea of picture construction.”
“Would you say that one of the changes in the past twenty years is in the spreading of a knowledge of pictorial photography throughout the country?”
“Very definitely so. The interest in pictorial photography twenty years ago was confined to a small group. There are now groups in various centers as large as the national group of the early days.”
