“I detest tradition for tradition's sake; the half-alive; that which is not real. I feel no hatred of individuals, but of customs, traditions; superstitions that go against life, against truth, against the reality of experience, against the spontaneous living out of the sense of wonder-of fresh experience, freshly seen and communicated.” FeelsRealRealityIndividualHalfWonderAliveTraditionHatredSakeCustomsSuperstitionsSpontaneousDetestSense Of Wonder Author:Alfred Stieglitz
“My ideal is to achieve the ability to produce numberless prints from each negative, prints all significantly alive, yet indistinguishably alike, and to be able to circulate them at a price not higher than that of a popular magazine, or even a daily paper. To gain that ability there has been no choice but to follow the road I have chosen.” Has BeensAbleChoicesAbilityAliveAchieveProduceHigherPaperGainsNegativeIdealsPhotographerChosenMagazinesPrint Book:Stieglitz on photography: his selected essays and notes Source: Stieglitz on photography: his selected essays and notes
