Friday Quote: Truth?⸮

This week’s Friday Quote begins a mini series: Truth?⸮ Photography’s credibility aura will be explored.
“A failed attempt to photograph reality. How foolish of me to have believed that it would be that easy. I had confused the appearances of trees and automobiles and people with reality itself and believed that a photograph of these appearances to be a photograph of it. It is a melancholy truth that I will never be able to photograph it and can only fail. I am a reflection photographing other reflections within a reflection. To photograph reality is to photograph nothing.”
~Duane Michals~

Duane Michals – Contacts 2
Duane Michals, an American born contemporary photographer (1932 – ), often makes use of photo sequences and text.



Have a great weekend,
Cheryl
