Last night, I went to the Newburyport Firehouse Art Center to view
the documentary Film, last Stop Coney Island. The film is about
Harold Feinstein, who was one of the 20th century's master
photographers and teacher.
The film was a delight and after the film was a wonderful q&a
with Harold's widow, Judith Thompson.
Harold was quoted in 1958:“You must photograph where you are involved; where you
are overwhelmed by what you see before you;
where you hold your breath while releasing
the shutter, not because you are afraid of jarring the camera,
but because you are seeing with your guts
wide open to the sweet pain
of an image that is part of your life.”
