photographers say

Ralph Gibson:
- when you take pictures in b/w you make 3 steps away from reality: you eliminate color, contract size, come from 3D to 2D. That's why blac&white photography looks more drammatic, cause you make 3 steps away from reality.

Eugene Smith:
- What's use of depth-of-field if there is no deep emotions?

Bill Brandt:
- The distinctive feature of a phorographer is that he looks more intensively at things than other people. He must preserve eye of a child who looks at the world for the first time, or of a traveller who enters a country he's never been to before.
