Great Regulars: The phrase is coined by Kirsten Lubben,

editor of Magnum Contact Sheets, a treasure trove from the agency's archives, and it conveys something of the passion she feels for her subject. "The contact sheet," she continues, "embodies much of the appeal of photography itself: the sense of time unfolding, a durable trace of movement through space, an apparent authentication of photography's claims to transparent representation of reality."

The point is well worth making in any context.
