“You usually get one or the other, you get someone who knows how to tell a story but they don't necessarily know about light and camera and rhythm, or you get someone who can make beautiful images but they can't necessarily tell a great story.

“I understand the opposite side of the camera. I have a profound respect for that. I have worked with people who, when you hit that mark, are doing 50 percent of your work for you.

“[Richard Avedon's] camera dwells on the horrible things that age can do to people's faces - on the flabby flesh, the slack skin, the ugly growths, the puffy eyes, the knotted necks, the aimless wrinkles, the fearful and anxious set of the mouth, the marks left by sickness, madness, alcoholism, and irreversible disappointment.” PeopleEyeAgeFacesLeftGrowthCan DoMouthsSkinsMadnessMarkCamerasDisappointmentUglyFleshHorribleNecksSicknessAnxiousFearfulAlcoholismWrinklesHorrible ThingsIrreversible Author:Janet Malcolm

“The second death. To think that you died and no one would remember you. I wondered if this was why we tried so hard to make our mark in America. To be known.

“There are always more questions. Science as a process is never complete. It is not a foot race, with a finish line.... People will always be waiting at a particular finish line: journalists with their cameras, impatient crowds eager to call the race, astounded to see the scientists approach, pass the mark, and keep running.
