Sur la photographie

"[Robert Capa] most famous quote, "If your picture are note good enough, you're not close enough", is universally misunderstood as being only physical. I believe it is also emotional, and I believe that we photographers have nothing to say until we can also paraphrase the non-news event, because it is not in photography's illustrative ability that its strenght lies, but in its soul - that which is felt and not seen" (p. 150)
