It is one thing to photograph people. It is another to make others care about them by revealing the core of their humanness.
Paul StrandObjectivity is of the very essence of photography, its contribution and at the same time its limitation
Paul StrandI don't care how you photograph - use the kitchen mop if you must, but if the product is not true to the laws of photography... you have produced something that is dead. (1923)
Paul StrandThe decision as to when to photograph, the actual click of the shutter, is partly controlled from the outside, by the flow of life, but it also comes from the mind and the heart of the artist. The photograph is his vision of the world and expresses, however subtly, his values and convictions.
