Goletaville-Day 13 and Thoughts on Photography by Ernst Haas



Some thoughts on the philosophy of photography by Ernst Haas:

"If truth is what we believe to be true, then every period, every culture has created its own truth, which has always been deeply rooted in man's concept of the reason for existence. But in extreme situations, such as pain, love or joy, man reaches from the narrower fact of truth into the broader dimensions of poetry to express better all that he feels, sees, and believes.

William Blake saw 'the world in a grain of sand.' It can be seen in many such things, for in the smallest cells are reflections of the largest. And in photography, through an interplay of scales, a whole universe within a universe can be revealed."
