Do We Know What We Look Like?

Whether He Is An Artist Or Not, The Photographer Is A Joyous Sensualist, For The Simple Reason That The Eye Traffics In Feelings, Not In Thoughts.

That’s My Idea Of What A Portrait Ought To Be, Anonymous And Documentary And A Straightforward Picture Of Mankind.

What I Believe Is Really Good In The So-called Documentary Approach To Photography Is The Addition Of Lyricism.[this Quality] Is Usually Produced Unconsciously And Even Unintentionally And Accidentally By The Cameraman.

It's Too Presumptuous And Naïve To Think You Can Change Society By A Photograph Or Anything Else... I Equate That With Propaganda; I Think That's A Lower Rank Of Purpose.

You See, A Document Has Use, Whereas Art Is Really Useless. Therefore Art Is Never A Document, Although It Can Adopt That Style.
