Friedrich Dürrenmatt

Dürrenmatt on observation

March 23, 2023March 23, 2023 / spqr / Leave a comment

“Anyone can take a snap – even a photomat, but not everyone has the powers of observation. Photography is only an art when it makes use of the art of observation. Observation is an elementary poetic process.”

Friedrich Dürrenmatt, Swiss playwright
