“ Of all the means of expression, photography is the only one
that fixes forever the precise and transitory instant.”

The Human Spirit - A Brief View into my Journey as a Photojournalist

"Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man."


Edward Steichen at The Family of Man, 1955

"The Family of Man (MoMA Exh. #569, January 24-May 8, 1955) was composed of 503 photographs grouped thematically around subjects pertinent to all cultures, such as love, children, and death. After its initial showing at The Museum of Modern Art in 1955, the exhibition toured the world for eight years, making stops in thirty-seven countries on six continents."
