Edward Steichen Citas

• When I first became interested in photography, I thought it was the whole cheese. My idea was to have it recognized as one of the fine arts. Today I don't give a hoot in hell about that. The mission of photography is to explain man to man and each man to himself.

• Photography is a medium of formidable contradictions. It is both ridiculously easy and almost impossibly difficult. It is easy because its technical rudiments can readily be mastered by anyonwith a few simple instructions. It is difficult because, while while the artist working in any other medium begins with a blank surface and gradually brings his conception into being, the photographer is the only imagemaker who begins with the picture completed. His emotions, his knowledge, and his native talent are brought into focus and fixed beyond recall the moment the shutter of his camera has closed.

• La fotografía registra la gama de sentimientos escritos en el rostro humano, la belleza de la tierra y los cielos que el hombre ha heredado, y la riqueza y la confusión que el hombre ha creado. Es una fuerza fundamental para explicar el hombre al hombre.

• The boy and girl going hand in hand through a meadow; the mother washing her baby; the sweet simple things in life. We have almost lost track of them. On the one side, we over-intellectualize everything; on the other hand, we are over-mechanized. We can understand the danger of the atomic bomb, but the danger of our misunderstanding the meaning of life is much more serious.

• Sabía, por supuesto, que los árboles y las plantas tenían raíces, tallos, corteza, ramas y follaje que se alzaban hacia la luz. Pero me estaba dando cuenta de que el verdadero mago era la propia luz.

• It is an error common to many artists, who strive merely to avoid mistakes, when all our efforts should be to create positive and important work. Better positive and important with mistakes and failures than perfect mediocrity.

• To make good photographs, to express something, to contribute something to the world he lives in, and to contribute something to the art of photography besides imitations of the best photographers on the market today, that is basic training, the understanding of self.

• El uso del término medio artístico es, como mínimo, engañoso, ya que es el artista el que crea una obra de arte y no el medio. En la fotografía, es el artista el que da forma al contenido mediante la destilación de ideas, pensamiento, experiencia, perspicacia y comprensión.

• You know... that a blank wall is an apalling thing to look at...
  The wall of a museum - a canvas - a piece of film - or a guy sitting in front of a typewriter. Then, you start out to do something - that vague thing called creation. The beginning strikes awe within you.

• There is only one optimist. He has been here since man has been on this earth, and that is man himself. If we hadn't had such a magnificent optimism to carry us through all these things, we wouldn't be here. We have survived it on our optimism.

• Algún día puede haber... una máquina a la que sólo haya que darle cuerda y enviarla a recorrer colinas y valles, campos y praderas, arroyos murmurantes y bosques sombríos; en resumen, una máquina que seleccione su tema con delicadeza y, mediante una hábil disposición de muelles y tornillos, componga su motivo, exponga la placa, revele, imprima e incluso monte y enmarque el resultado de su excursión, de modo que no nos quede más remedio que enviarla a la exposición de la Royal Photographic Society y recibir agradecidos la "Medalla Real".
