Bill Brandt


“We look at a thing and believe we have seen it. And yet what we see is often only what our past experiences tell us should be seen, or what our desires want to see. Very rarely are we able to free our minds of thoughts and emotions and just see for the simple pleasure of seeing. And so log as we fail to do this, so long will the essence of things be hidden from us.”

"I consider it essential that the photographer should do his own printing and enlarging. The final effect of the finished print depends so much on these operations, and only the photographer himself knows the effect he wants."
