""These images appear to us every day. They surround us. Yet we're oblivious to them as we occupy ourselves with the business of what we call living. But in that life, these overlooked images, these memories and half-dreams, are worth the trouble of seeing. Yates has given us the opportunity to see the familiar as something wondrous and arresting or, as the title would tell us, chimerical."" -From the foreword to Chimera, the Photography of LMF Yates.
