“Why I like to go close is because I want to take the person’s soul and I want them to know I took the picture. For me, it’s worst to be across the street with a long lens and being a spy and sneaky. The older I get, the closer I get.” Bruce Gilden

“This is a photo of my younger sister and I on Christmas in 1996. I’m the one with the triumphant look on my face holding the cards and mashing my hand in my sister’s face. I love this picture because it pretty much sums up the relationship I have with my sister. It also tells you a lot about my family… like the fact that my parents took a picture of the situation before pulling me off of my sister.”

“A person cannot learn to be a photographer. He can only cultivate what he already has. I try to make people aware that they have something very precious to cultivate.” Ruth Bernhard
