“We all experience it. Those moments when we gasp and say, Oh, look at that. Maybe it's nothing more than the way a shadow glides across a face, but in that split second, when you realize something truly remarkable is happening and disappearing right in front of you, if you can pass a camera before your eye, you'll tear a piece of time out of the whole, and in a breath, rescue it and give it new meaning.” IfsWayGivingLooksWholeMomentsEyeFacesRealizingPiecesFrontsTearsHappeningsShadowBreathsCamerasPhotographerDisappearRemarkableSplitsRescue Author:Joel Meyerowitz
“'Tough' meant it was an uncompromising image, something that came from your gut, out of instinct, raw, of the moment, something that couldn't be described in any other way. So it was tough. Tough to like, tough to see, tough to make, tough to understand. The tougher they were the more beautiful they became.” WayMomentsBeautifulToughInstinctPhotographerGutsUncompromising Author:Joel Meyerowitz
“I want to enjoy the languor of just living, recognizing, acknowledging, taking it in, sort of amplifying it in some way. [Photography] is a great medium for that. It happens in an instant, but it gives you hours or days of time to reflect on things. It’s a beautiful system, this game of photography, to see in an instant and go back and think about later on. It’s pure philosophy. And poetry.” ThinkingWayWantGivingPhilosophyHappensBeautifulGamesEnjoyHoursPurePhotographyMediumsInstantRecognizing Author:Joel Meyerowitz
