"It is daily life which is the great event, the true reality" Brassi
"...a photographer must have a point of view, be a disciplined person, responding instinctively and purposefully to meaningful subject matter. He is a moralist, with a sincere belief in the dignity of the human being and his potential and aspirations" Henri Cartier-Bresson
"Everyone is a creative person, an artist, to some degree. A taxicab driver writing a love letter to his girlfriend is exercising the creative urge" HCB
"Nothing is to trite to claim a photographer's attention. All life is grist for the mill." "We are taking pictures here and now; we have to touch earth." HCB
Regarding the F.S.A. photos of the 1930's: "We tried to present the ordinary in an extraordinary manner...that split second of a guy stepping onto a bus, or eating at a lunch counter" Ben Shahn
These quotes were all taken from 'Leica Manual' 15th Ed. by Douglas Morgan, David Vestal and William Broecker
I thought all these quotes reflected some recent discussions here at RFF as well as some of the best images posted in the Gallery. Jim
