Sunday Photo/Art Quote – Minor White
Minor White was a black and white photographer who was at the forefront of pushing boundaries of what photography was all about. Abstract images of landscapes which had a tendency to disorient a viewer were among his gifts to the photographic world. In addition to being a ground-breaking photographer, he was an educator and editor of Aperture Magazine.
As they might say on CBS Sunday Morning, ‘Here now is today’s quote.’
“One should not only photograph things for what they are, but for what else they are.” – Minor White
We should spend time reviewing those photographers who came before us for education and inspiration. As in the fashion industry, we might mine the past for ideas, not to copy, but to build upon in taking our photographic work to new levels.
Yours in Creative Photography, Bob
