The Red Wheelbarrow
by William Carlos Williams
so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens.
Thoughts on photography and what inspires it - books, poetry, film, art. And various other ramblings.
"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
