“Nothing attracts me like a closed door. I cannot let my camera rest until I have pried it open.” -Margaret Bourke-White
Margaret Bourke-White was fearless.
Looking into Depression’s eyes,
did not turn away,
and helps us see them, too.
“I was to discover that the quest for human understanding is a lifetime one that has no end in sight.” Margaret Bourke-White
She looked at leaders
and children
the working man
and the towers they built
and through her eyes,
we see humanity.
“The very secret of life for me, I believed, was to maintain in the midst of rushing events an inner tranquility.” -Margaret Bourke-White
Today, even the neglected negatives
the forgotten images
speak:
“The element of discovery is very important. I don’t repeat myself well. I want and need that stimulus of walking forward from one new world to another.” -Margaret Bourke-White
