The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking. - Brook Atkinson- 1951
good stuff, but makes me wonder how much is staged.
I was a big fan of Ulrike Welsch, famed Boston Globe photographer in the 70's, but when I studied her photos at length I realized that a lot of her shots were set up, which of course takes a certain genius but left me disillusioned, to a degree; would have had more reverence if her photos were spontaneous. There's a degree of dishonesty involved with staged shots.
I say these things, of course, having no idea if the above photos are staged or not.
great photos, nonetheless.
