Imogen Cunningham, Martha Graham


I wasn't very ambitious. I think that's the solution. I just took things as they came. I wouldn't say I didn't have any problem, but I didn't care. I didn't think I was going to save the world by doing photography as some of these people do. I was just having a good time doing it, and so I still had a good time no matter what I had to photograph.

Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham



Alan Ross, Imogen Cunningham & Ansel Adams


I never divide photographers into creative and uncreative, I just call them photographers. Who is creative? How do you know who is creative or not?
- Imogen Cunningham

I just believe in working. I'm not one of those romantic explainers of my own individual point of view.
