On the camera as a great teacher

On where the human leaves off

On photograph as an act of love

On photographs which proceed one from the other

On the subject of poverty

On thinking “in twos”

On the "Visual Life"<

On "the words that come direct from the people"



Back to LANGE

On “the words that come direct from the people”

The words that come direct from the people are the greatest, they’re the greatest….Those are the words that I wrote down in my notebook 25 years ago often with great excitement holding on to them…just hoping I could hold on to them until I got back to the car because if you substitute one out of your own vocabulary, it disappears before your eyes.”

- Dorothea Lange
