More by Alfred Stieglitz

I have always been a great believer in today. Most people live either in the past or in the future, so that they really never live at all. So many people are busy worrying about the future of art or society, they have no time to preserve what is. Utopia is in the moment. Not in some future time, some other place, but in the here and now, or else it is nowhere.

Photography as a fad is well-nigh on its last legs, thanks principally to the bicycle craze.

Alfred Stieglitz (1887)

There is a reality — so subtle that it becomes more real than reality. That's what I'm trying to get down in photography.

When I make a photograph, I make love.

I am an American. Photography is my passion. The search for truth my obsession

AS A KID I WAS PROMISED an America - An America I believed in - and I insist on living - and dying - in that America, even I have to create it myself.
