Teenage clicks: how child photographer Stephen Shore turned everyday New York moments into magic Before he found fame at 17 photographing Andy Warhol’s Factory, Shore roamed the city with his camera. He talks about the joy of those early 60s pictures – and why they never made him rich

"I understood from the beginning that a camera doesn’t point, it frames. I also understood the gap between the world of the photograph and the world we experience – the world of the photograph has to make sense on its own, out of context.” www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Untitled, Providence, Rhode Island, 1976 - Francesca Woodman A contact sheet with an image of a blurred figure in a light background dancing. Drawn marks on the contact sheet make it appear as if the figure is leaping or moving through portals

"In a photograph, a girl rapidly transforming into an adult can pause her own evolution, if only for a frame. Nearly all photos contain this illusory stillness, despite the unrest of the actual. But Woodman denies us this temporary serenity." openspace.sfmoma.org/2012/01/gann...
