Extracts from 'The Photographer's Eye' by John Szarkowski

'...The image would survive the object, and become the remembered reality.'

'William M. Ivins Jr said "at any given moment the accepted report of an event is of greater importance than the event, for what we think about and act upon is the symbolic report and not the concrete event itself."'

'The photographer...could not, outside the studio, pose the truth; he could only record it as he found it, and it was found in nature in a fragmented and unexplained form - not as a story, but as scattered and suggestive clues.'
