"Visual ideas combined with technology combined with personal interpretation equals photography. Each must hold it's own; if it doesn't, the thing collapses"
- Arnold Newman
About this Quote
This quote means that photography is the end result of combining visual concepts, modern technology, and also personal analysis. Every one of these components need to collaborate as well as be of a high standard, otherwise the result will certainly not be successful. Essentially, each element has to be strong sufficient to depend on its own, or the end product will certainly be threatened.
"It's not just the effect of technology on the environment, on religion, on the economic structure, on society, on politics, etc. It's that everything now exists in technology to the point where technology is the new and comprehensive host of nature of life"
"If future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than sorrow, we must achieve more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created, not just as it looked when we got through with it"
