The thing is that pictures are everywhere. The question is what we don't see, and why don't we see so much. I just see it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see.
The greatest value of a picture is when it forces us to notice what we never expected to see.
Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see.
I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn't photograph them.
I look at ordinary objects, and I see things that other people don't see. That's why I'm a photographer.
You can't see all of a place until you look at it from a distance.
When you think about the scale of human populations all over the world and the fact that there's so much here, really, the only way to be able to visualize that is to pull back in space... It allows us to see hidden temples and tombs and pyramids and even entire settlements.
The big picture doesn't just come from distance; it also comes from time.
Seeing is no longer believing. The very notion of truth has been put into crisis. In a world bloated with images, we are finally learning that photographs do indeed lie.
A photograph is always invisible, it is not it that we see.
