  14. Henri Cartier-BressonBehind the Gare St Lazare, Paris, 1932 The Decisive Moment ‘The decisive moment is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as the precise organization of forms which gives that event its proper expression.’

  15. Henri Cartier-BressonBehind the Gare St Lazare, Paris, 1932 The Decisive Moment ‘There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative.’

  37. DIANE ARBUSIn Arbus’ photographs, transvestites, giants and dwarves are presented sympathetically and with dignity, while supposedly‘normal’ American citizens often appear eccentric or strange.

She placed her subjects in the centre of the square frame. - www.tate.org.uk Diane Arbus photographed by Garry Winogrand in Central Park, 1969

  38. There’s a quality of legend about freaks. Most people go through life dreading they’ll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They’ve already passed their test in life. They’re aristocrats. – Diane Arbus Diane Arbus, Woman with a veil on Fifth Ave, 1968
