“There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment. This kind of photography is realism.

“Photography is a medium of formidable contradictions. It is both ridiculously easy and almost impossibly difficult. It is easy because its technical rudiments can readily be mastered by anyonwith a few simple instructions. It is difficult because, while while the artist working in any other medium begins with a blank surface and gradually brings his conception into being, the photographer is the only imagemaker who begins with the picture completed. His emotions, his knowledge, and his native talent are brought into focus and fixed beyond recall the moment the shutter of his camera has closed.” MomentsArtistEasyDifficultSimpleEmotionFocusTalentPhotographyCamerasPhotographerSurfaceMediumsFixedNativeContradictionConceptionInstructionRecallsBlankFormidableShutters Author:Edward Steichen
“Snapshots that have been taken of me working show something I was not aware of at all, that over and over again I'm holding my own body or my own hands exactly like the person I'm photographing. I never knew I did that, and obviously what I'm doing is trying to feel, actually physically feel, the way he or she feels at the moment I'm photographing them in order to deepen the sense of connection.” WayFeelsTryingPersonsHas BeensMomentsShowsBodyHandsOrderMy OwnTakenConnectionsPhotographerSnapshots Author:Richard Avedon

“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
