Camera Quotes

“Langzaam zoom ik in en zie tegelijkertijd de drooggetrainde, wiegende rug van Madonna (‘Vogue’) en ik weet dat in de kooi van haar ribben, ingekapseld in taaie draden, haar hart klopt, als een glanzend oranje embryo. Om de een of andere reden stelt mij dat gerust en daarom laat ik de camera het plekje tussen haar schouderblad en ruggengraat viseren waarna ik in de badkamer verdwijn.”

“It is tempting to draw a connection between Ansel Adams’ Moonrise, Hernandez and the tools he held in his hands—the Ansco 8x10 camera, the Taylor Hobson Cooke convertible lens. Yes, they made the image possible, but does the camera truly matter? Could it not have been a Deardorff or a Kodak Master View? What I’m trying to say, perhaps imperfectly, is this: It is never the machine that creates the image, but the soul behind it. The lens does not see; the photographer does. The camera is a vessel. The vision—the light, the shadow, the breath of the land—that belongs to the one who dares to witness.”
