Photography and Film

American capitalism finds its sharpest and most expressive reflection in the American cinema.

Black and white are the colors of photography. To me, they symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is forever subjected. Most of my photographs are of people; they are seen simply, as through the eyes of the man in the street. There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment. This kind of photography is realism.

Not even the church is so powerfully equipped to serve the public psychologically as is the motion picture company.
