Hippies

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 15:47:27 +0000

"To persevere as a photographer, you have to keep moving. Exchanging locations, one for the other, the newness of the subject and your arrogance to believe that you can see it differently are the driving forces...My subjects, the hippies, are simply people who have sought a less conforming way to explore this conforming life that we all lead." - Dennis Stock

The Path to Buddha

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 15:39:20 +0000

"Interesting, isn't it, that we ascribe to Steve's contemplative behavior a Buddhist way, but indeed, he is not a practicing Buddhist. Having the mind of someone who is searching for something that he or she doesn't know yet: That's the mind of a beginner. The person who hasn't made up their mind is always willing to change their mind and always willing to allow new things to fill up their mind. That's a mark of his work, I think, and it's why we value it." Anthony Bannon
