Atget was a great documentary photographer but is misclassed as anything else. The emotion derived from his work is largely that of connotations from subject matter. I have a deep respect for Atget: he did a certain work well. I am doing something quite different.

Los Angeles, April 18, 1938. [“Edward Weston – The Flame of Recognition” edited by Nancy Newhall, An Aperture Monograph, New York 1971 p. 62]
