The Secret Of Photography Is, The Camera

What America Needs Is A Political Revolution.

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

The Photographs Are Not Illustrative. They, And The Text, Are Coequal, Mutually Independent, And Fully Collaborative. By Their Fewness, And By The Importance Of The Reader’s Eye, This Will Be Misunderstood By Most Of That Minority Which Does Not Wholly Ignore It. In The Interests, However, Of The History And Future Of Photography, That Risk Seems Irrelevant, And This Flat Statement Necessary.

Stare, Pry, Listen, Eavesdrop. Die Knowing Something. You Are Not Here Long.

Documentary: That’s A Sophisticated And Misleading Word. And Not Really Clear… The Term Should Be Documentary Style… You See, A Document Has Use, Whereas Art Is Really Useless.
