Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb on Street Photography and the Poetic Image

In Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb on Street Photography and the Poetic Image, Rebecca Norris Webb writes, "The photographer and writer Wright Morris once wrote, 'I do not give up the camera eye when writing––merely the camera.' Originally a poet and now a photographer, I would say the reverse is also true: 'I do not give up the poetic eye with photographing––merely the pen.' To see the close relationship between these two sister arts, one only has to look at the root of the word 'photography,' which literally means 'writing with light.' Both photography and poetry share a preoccupation with light and time and the elusive moment, so fleeting that one of the few ways to try to grasp it is to hold a book of poetry or photography in one’s hands." Havana (2007) is reproduced from this new volume in the Aperture Photography Workshop Series.
