When we do not know why the photographer has taken a picture and when we do not know why we are looking at it, all of a sudden we discover something that we start seeing. I like this confusion.
Saul LeiterI leave these speculations to others. Itโs quite possible that my work represents a search for beauty in the most prosaic and ordinary places. One doesnโt have to be in some faraway dreamland in order to find beauty.
Saul LeiterI have a deep-seated distrust and even contempt for people who are driven by ambition to conquer the world โฆ those who cannot control themselves and produce vast amounts of crap that no one cares about. I find it unattractive. I like the Zen artists: theyโd do some work, and then theyโd stop for a while.
