Ruth Orkin quotes
-
“My mother said that when I was young I was constantly saying, Look at this - Look at that. I think that taking pictures must be my way of asking people to Look at this - Look at that. If my photographs make the viewer feel what I did when I first took them - Isn't this funny... terrible... moving... beautiful? - then I've accomplished my purpose.”
-- Ruth Orkin -
“Being a photographer is making people look at what I want them to look at.”
-- Ruth Orkin -
“To be a photojournalist takes experience, skill, endurance, energy, salesmanship, organization, wheedling, climbing, gatecrashing, etc. - plus an eye and patience.”
-- Ruth Orkin
