| Summary |
"Most of the pictures here were made with a camera on a tripod. In this situation, both the sitter and photographer become part of the picture. Sometimes my photographs resemble home snapshots, which are among the richest resources of images I know. But I always want to make a picture that is more than a family record." "About the circular pictures: I had quite forgotten that it was in the nature of the lens to form a circle and in 1967 my only lens was a short Angulon intended for a small camera. I'd been given an old Eastman View 8 x 10 and brought the two together out of impatience and curiosity. After a while, I recognized the wonderful exaggeration near the edge." --[Essay] |
