"Approach tenderly, gently. ... on tiptoe-even if the subject is still life. A velvet hand, a hawk's eye - these we should all have.... When the subject is in any way uneasy, the personality goes away where the camera can't find it. . . . It's as if you have thrown a stone in the water. You sometimes have to wait until all the waves are gone before the fishes come back again."

Useless quote for 21 June (solstice!):

"You have to look, and looking is so difficult. We are used to thinking. We reflect all the time, well or not, but people are not taught how to look."

~ Henri Cartier-Bresson, 1979

The intensive use of photographs by mass media lays ever fresh responsibilities upon the photographer. We have to acknowledge the existence of a chasm between the economic needs of our consumer society and the requirements of those who bear witness to this epoch. This affects us all, particularly the younger generations of photographers. We must take greater care than ever not to allow ourselves to be separated from the real world and from humanity."

- , 1968

The decisive moment is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as the precise organization of forms which gives that event its proper expression.
-- Henri Cartier-Bresson (The Decisive Moment)

photographed the everyday life in and captured some truly iconic images, but this sums up for me the phrase about capturing the 'decisive moment'...

Levitt captures the very moment (or was it posed?) when the child on the bicycle & the children holding the frame offer a double take to the viewer, an everyday illusion that brings a smile to the face... just brilliant!

The New York Times is doing some nifty things with digital storytelling these days. I enjoyed how interaction with the photos in this piece takes you along on the writer’s journey.

“A Times journalist wanted to find out where his great-grandfather had grown up in Italy. He ended up stumbling down an art-world rabbit hole.
