Photography Mysterious Wonderful

More From Annie Leibovitz

Anthropology... has always been highly dependent upon photography... as the use of still photography - and moving pictures - has become increasingly essential as a part of anthropological methods, the need for photographers with a disciplined knowledge of anthropology and for anthropologists with training in photography has increased. we expect that in the near future sophisticated training in photography will be a requirement for all anthropologists. (1962)

O wonderful, wonderful, and most wonderful wonderful! and yet again wonderful, and after that, out of all hooping.

Photography has arrived at the point where it is capable of liberating painting from all literature, from the anecdote, and even from the subject. in any case, a certain aspect of the subject now belongs to the domain of photography. so shouldn't painters profit from their newly acquired liberty, and make use of it to do other things?

I have problems with a lot of photography, particularly street photography and photojournalism - objectifying the other, finding the contempt and exoticism that you might feel within yourself or toward yourself and projecting it out to others. there can be an abusive power to photography, too.

Now what kind of an attitude is that, 'these things happen?' they only happen because this whole country is just full of people who, when these things happen, they just say, 'these things happen,' and that's why they happen! we gotta have control of what happens to us.

Photography today is accomplishing a lofty mission in which every german should collaborate by buying a camera. the german people is ahead of every other in the technical domain and, thanks to its exceptional qualities, the small camera has conquered the whole world... much is at stake here from the point of view of popular consumer goods and, furthermore, photography has a particularly important political role to play. (addressing the berlin photography fair, 1933)

Here’s a current example of the challenge we face. at the height of its power, the photography company kodak employed more than 140,000 people and was worth $28 billion. they even invented the first digital camera. but today kodak is bankrupt, and the new face of digital photography has become instagram. when instagram was sold to facebook for a billion dollars in 2012, it employed only thirteen people. where did all those jobs disappear to? and what happened to the wealth that all those middle-class jobs created?

Ill always be an amateur photographer.

If im feeling outraged, grief, disbelief, frustration, sympathy, that gets channeled through me and into my pictures and hopefully transmitted to the viewer.
