SAUL LEITER
AND
FOLLOWING ONESELF
“A window covered with rain drops interests me more than a picture of a famous person”
Saul Leiter
Saul Leiter
This is the message that keeps ringing in my ears after viewing Saul Leiter's filmed interview. This is the message from a person who followed his ideas despite whatever opinions would be thrown a him. A person who does not know if he is a pioneer in photography or not, and actually does not care whatsoever. A person who tell stories with a camera in stead of with philosophy, and thus is the visitor welcomed into the exposition.
...and after that surge of inspiration, how could one not be tempted to follow Saul's steps. Ultimately his stance in life.
