"The world is going to pieces and people like Adams and Weston are photographing rocks!'
Henri Cartier Bresson
"I still believe there is a real social significance in a rock - just as there is in a line of unemployed. For that opinion I am charged with inhumanity, unawareness."
Ansel Adams, to Edward Weston
"I agree with you that there is just as much 'social significance in a rock' as in 'a line of unemployed.' All depends on the seeing . . . If I have in some way awakened others to a broader conception of life - added significance and beauty to their lives - . . . then I have functioned, and am satisfied."
Edward Weston, to Ansel Adams
