Take vs. Make

from George Eastman Museum · host George Eastman Museum

Carl Chiarenza is very sensitive to the language that we use when discussing photography. Here he is in 2019 discussing the critical difference between taking and making a photograph: Well, one of the things about the history of photography is the words that have been used since the beginning, and since the beginning there has been this notion of “taking” something, “capturing” something, or “shooting” something! And none of those words seem to make any sense to me, and that’s partly because some people before me asked these questions. Like Ansel Adams, for example, said, “I don’t take a picture, I make a picture.” And I couldn’t agree more. I don’t take, I make. Source: Gabriella Chiarenza Interview (December 20, 2019)

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Talks Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden Browse through our selection of lectures and talks by Friday Gallery Talks, In Conversation, and Meet the Artist.
