“Once the amateur’s naive approach and humble willingness to learn fades away, the creative spirit of good photography dies with it. Every professional should remain always in his heart an amateur.”

Eisenstaedt on VJ Day, The Kiss: “In Times Square on V.J. Day, I saw a sailor running along the street grabbing every girl in sight. I was running ahead of him with my Leica looking back over my shoulder. Then suddenly, in a flash, I saw something white being grabbed. I turned around and clicked the moment the sailor kissed the nurse…I took exactly four pictures. It was done within a few seconds.”

Eisenstaedt on Mother and Child, 1945: “A mother and child sit amid rubble and burned, skeletal trees in Hiroshima four months after the city was leveled by an atomic bomb, hastening the end of World War II.”

Eisenstaedt’s reflection on Atomic scientists Albert Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer compare notes at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, 1947:
“I was so excited about photographing these two great scientists that I at first forgot to put film in my camera. When I discovered it, I sneaked out pretending that something was wrong with my camera.”

Eisenstaedt’s reflection on Children watching the story of “Saint George and the Dragon,” at the puppet theater in the Tuileries, Paris, 1963

“It took a long time to get the angle I liked, but the best picture is the one I took at the climax of the action. It carries all the excitement of the children screaming,”The dragon is slain!” Very often this sort of thing is only a momentary vision, my brain does not register, only my eyes and finger react. Click.”

Eisenstaedt reflects on Ernest Hemingway, 1952: “My most difficult subject was Ernest Hemingway. He was very excitable, but in the end we got on fine. It all started when I took some pictures of him in the harbor of Cojima near his home in Cuba. He went almost berzerk because, while I was photographing, he overheard a little boy ask his father, ‘Who is that actor?’”

“I dream that someday the step between my mind and my finger will no longer be needed. And that simply by blinking my eyes, I shall make pictures. Then, I think, I shall really have become a photographer.”

via Courier Mail: “A song doesn’t necessarily change the world and I think I used to think that it would back in my 20s. John Lennon wrote Imagine and that didn’t change the world. It just offered people comfort. That’s what music can do. When people have told me, ‘you have offered me some peace of mind’, that’s a great compliment.” - Chan Marshall
