Robert FRANK: Elevator Girl

Robert Frank: Elevator Girl (Elevator - Miami Beach, 1955), 1955

"My photographs are not planned or composed in advance, and I do not anticipate that the onlooker will share my viewpoint. However, I feel that if my photograph leaves an image on his mind, something has been accomplished." - Robert Frank

"Robert Frank, Swiss, unobtrusive, nice, with that little camera that he raises and snaps with one hand, he sucked a sad poem right out of America onto film, taking rank among the tragic poets of the world". - Jack Kerouac

Berenice Abbott: Eugene Atget

"There are many teachers who could ruin you. Before you know it you could be a pale copy of this teacher or that teacher. You have to evolve on your own." - Berenice Abbott


"Let us first say what photography is not. A photograph is not a painting, a poem, a symphony, a dance. It is not just a pretty picture, not an exercise in contortionist techniques and sheer print quality. It is or should be a significant document, a penetrating statement, which can be described in a very simple term - selectivity." - Berenice Abbott

Bill JAY: Manuel Alvarez Bravo

Bill Jay: Manuel Alvarez Bravo, 1980

"If there is a single factor which separates the best photographers from the wannabes it is the quantity of images which they produce. They seem to be forever shooting. I have watched many of them as they take picture after picture even when they are not photographing. [...] Often these intimate images do not look as though they were taken by the same photographer. And that is their fascination and charm." - Bill Jay (in Lens Work)

Arnold NEWMAN: Ieoh Ming Pei

Arnold Newman: Ieoh Ming Pei, 1967
