As you can imaging I'm OD-ing on Friedlander at the moment. My main 'find' for this week were some marvelous works from Tokyo, very very delicate, spare tracery... this has the same kind of delicacy Tim. Nice to see you getting close in!
"The Muse of photography is not one of Memory's daughters, but Memory herself." John Berger
"The photograph isn't what was photographed. It's something else. It's a new fact." Gary Winogrand
"The basic material of photographs is not intrinsically beautiful. It’s not like ivory or tapestry or bronze or oil on canvas. You’re not supposed to look at the thing, you’re supposed to look through it. It’s a window.” John Szarkowski
"Facts do not convey truth. That's a mistake. Facts create norms, but truth creates illumination." Werner Herzog
