“For a mechanical device to find such wide acceptance, three factors must usually be present: the apparatus has to be relatively inexpensive, it has to be technically easy to use, and the pleasure it offers (in this case visual pleasure) must be in tune with the mood and direction of contemporary life”

On the one hand the joy of reality, of the most exact possible ‘recognition’ of a piece of reality; on the other hand, the subtle pleasure in what is strange, hidden, unusual in this same surrounding world”
