I love to read theories without ever using them when working... The paradoxical fact in the aesthetic is that theories are also true in reverse.
Ernst HaasLeica, schmeica. The camera doesn't make a bit of difference. All of them can record what you are seeing. But you have to see.
Ernst HaasWith photography a new language has been created. Now for the first time it is possible to express reality by reality. We can look at an impression as long as we wish, we can delve into it and, so to speak, renew past experiences at will.
Ernst HaasTo express dynamic motion through a static moment became for me limited and unsatisfactory. The basic idea was to liberate myself from this old concept and arrive at an image in which the spectator could feel the beauty of a fourth dimension, which lies much more between moments than within a moment. In music one remembers never one tone, but a melody, a theme, a movement. In dance, never a moment, but again the beauty of a movement in time and space.
