The quest for good photos will continue . . .

 

Alexey Brodovitch has been quoted as saying:

A.   "This disease of our age is boredom... The way to combat this is by invention - by surprise. When I say a good picture has surprise value, I mean that it stimulates my thinking and intrigues me."  

B.   "A good picture must be a completely individual expression which intrigues the viewer and forces him to think."  

C.   "If [an artist] is to maintain his integrity, he must be responsible to himself; he must seek a public which will accept his vision, rather than pervert his vision to fit that public."

D.   "If you see something you have seen before, don't click the shutter."

E.   All of the above.

 

Now the disk jockey will play "Kodachrome," Ferde Grofà ©'s "Grand Canyon Suite," and Ferrantey and Teicher's "Canadian Sunset."   We have to go find a movie theater showing "Hugo" in 2-D.   Have a "Smile! You're on Candid Camera!" type week.
