How the Truth Gets Framed by the Camera by Louis P. Masur
From the website: "None of us are free of references," Meyerowitz says. "I'm covered with imagery that has meant something to me, that has caught my attention over time." But those references are not so much conscious as part of a subconscious visual memory that is triggered when we come across a scene or are jolted by an image. Meyerowitz calls that a kind of "randomness." He goes on, "For a street photographer like myself, randomness is everything, because that is one thing the world has in abundance, and I am just passing through it with my snare." What he means is that randomness is structure, and the best photographs capture something immediate and yet also timeless, unique and yet seen before.
