Dorothea Lange and Daniel Dixon on photography
“Though not a poet, nor a painter, nor a composer, he is yet an artist, and as an artist undertakes not only risks but responsibility. And it is with responsibility that both the photographer and his machine are brought to their ultimate tests. His machine must prove that it can be endowed with the passion and the humanity of the photographer; the photographer must prove that he has the passion and the humanity with which to endow the machine.”
Dorothea Lange and Daniel Dixon, “Photographing the Familiar”,
Aperture, vol 1, no 2, 1952
