"Photography’s great and almost magical power comes from a camera’s unique ability to record visual reality accurately, objectively, and in great detail. Documentary photographs, including the ones here, attempt to use that power to depict as exactly as possible whatever it was that the photographer was looking at when the camera’s shutter was released - not only an honest representation of the scene’s visual components, but also a sense of its mood and aura as manifested by the light, the geometries, and the perception that the recorded image remains connected to that past event in that specific place and moment in time."
