Author

Ralph Steiner (February 8, 1899 – July 13, 1986) was an American photographer, filmmaker, and educator known for his contributions to modernist photography and documentary cinema. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, he initially studied chemical engineering before turning to photography. Steiner's work, characterized by clean lines, geometric forms, and a focus on everyday objects, bridged pictorialism and straight photography. He worked for Fortune and Life magazines, participated in the Farm Security Administration project, and created experimental films like H2O and The Mechanical Principles. His book The Photographer's Eye (1974) remains influential. Steiner's legacy lies in his ability to merge commercial, documentary, and artistic photography while teaching at institutions like Yale and New York University. He died in Hancock, New York. more

“When you look back you talk about legends of the game, he's certainly up there. Twenty trophies since 1994. He just seems to get better and better. I've had the honour of playing alongside him. The four years I've played alongside him, he is the best player, one of the first names on the manager's teamsheet. He is just a complete legend. There are not enough players like Paul Scholes around any more for my liking. 'Legend' is over-used but this guy is right up there with the very best.”

“An eternal marriage is eternal. Eternal implies continuing growth and improvement. It signifies that love will grow stronger with time and that it extends beyond the grave. It means that each partner will be blessed with the company of the other partner forever. Eternal signifies repentance, forgiveness, long-suffering, patience, hope, charity, love, and humility. All of these things are involved in anything that is eternal, and surely we must learn and practice them if we intend to claim an eternal marriage.”
