"Photography is about finding out what can happen in the frame. When you put four edges around some facts, you change those facts."
To me, this quote means that photography is all about capturing a picture. Once the picture has taken, the artist has created a piece of art. The contents of the picture are now captured in a frame. The facts are now noticed, and looked at. You may have added meaning to that object, or made it stand out in a way that wasn't noticed before. You can also vary the point of view in a photo, and make a simple object, seem much more obstract one you capture it in a picture. I think what he is saying in this quote is that the goal of photography is to take a simple, everyday, ordinary object, and capture it, to make it your own as a piece of art, and as an artist.
