“Photography, precisely because it can only be produced in the present and because it is based on what exists objectively before the camera, takes its place as the most satisfactory medium for registering objective life in all its aspects, and from this comes its documental value. If to this is added sensibility and understanding and, above all, a clear orientation as to the place it should have in the field of historical development, I believe that the result is something worthy of a place in social production, to which we should all contribute.” IfsShouldBelieveValuesI BelieveSocialUnderstandingResultsClearFieldsDevelopmentPhotographyAspectShould HaveCamerasHistoricalProductionsWorthyObjectivesMediumsSensibilityOrientation Author:Tina Modotti
“I don't believe in marriage. I think at worst it's a hostile political act, a way for small-minded men to keep women in the house and out of the way, wrapped up in the guise of tradition and conservative religious nonsense. At best, it's a happy delusion - these two people who truly love each other and have no idea how truly miserable they're about to make each other. But, but, when two people know that, and they decide with eyes wide open to face each other and get married anyway, then I don't think it's conservative or delusional. I think it's radical and courageous and very romantic.” PeopleThinkingKnowsMenWayBelieveTwoIdeasEyeFacesPoliticalHouseReligiousWorstMarriedTraditionDon't BelieveConservativeWideMiserableRadicalNo IdeaNonsenseDelusionCourageousHostileLove Each OtherGuiseDelusionalVery RomanticEyes Wide Open Author:Tina Modotti
