mirrors people world
I realise that I had the best of serious picture journalism. There was an innocence in our approach, especially in the 1950s and 1960s when we naively believed that by holding a mirror up to the world we could help - no matter how little - to make people aware of the human condition.
reality ideas cameras
I love the idea I can go off with a single camera and a few rolls of film unencumbered... I was not interested in the illusion of reality, I wanted to get close to what was happening.
thinking frustration satisfied
I think if I ever get satisfied, I’ll have to stop. It’s the frustration that drives you.
photography magic musician
You can't make a great musician or a great photographer if the magic isn't there.
want limits cameras
I didn't want to be a woman photographer. That would limit me. I wanted to be a photographer who was a woman, with all the world open to my camera.
children poverty birth
I have been poor and I wanted to document poverty; I had lost a child and I was obsessed with birth; I was interested in politics and I wanted to know how it affected our lives; I am a woman and I wanted to know about women.
important use leica
It doesn't matter if you use a box camera or you use a Leica; the important thing is what motivates you when you are photographing.
photography cameras photographer
The instrument is not the camera but the photographer.
people giving important
It doesn’t matter if you use a box camera or a Leica, the important thing is what motivates you when you are photographing. What I have tried to do is involve the people I was photographing. To have them realize without saying so, that it was up to them to give me whatever they wanted to give me . . . if they were willing to give, I was willing to photograph.
people black littles
I found a way of working which pleased me because I didn’t have to frighten people with heavy equipment. It was that little black box and me.
wall mind
What do you hang on the walls of your mind?
inspirational photography people
If the photographer is interested in the people in front of his lens, and if he is compassionate, it's already a lot. The instrument is not the camera but the photographer.
special use like-her
I never knew anyone who came close to Marilyn in natural ability to use both photographer and still camera. She was special in this, and for me there has been no one like her before or after. She has remained the measuring rod by which I have - unconsciously - judged other subjects.
photography people lenses
If a photographer cares about the people before the lens and is compassionate, much is given. It is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument.
