Andre Kertesz
1895 - 1985
American, born in Hungary
Do you remember the first photograph you ever took?
"Maybe as early as 1900, when I was very young, at a family gathering.
I had discovered a charming illustrated magazine in our attic which moved me very much; I felt its warmth and spontaneity and I decided that I wanted to express my own impressions in the same way."

Laura Gilpin
1891-1979
American
How did you first become interested in photography?
"I think I must have been given a Brownie camera when I was twelve. But probably what did me more good than anything else was being with my mother's closest friend, who was blind. During the St Louis Exposition, I would go to the fair every other day and describe the exhibits to her. I think that taught me observation like nothing else could. I can see those exhibits now, just as if it was yesterday."
page 221
Imogen Cunningham
1883-1976
American
How did you get started in photography?
"Everybody asks me that question. I'm asked it at parties, everywhere. Nobody started me. I was self-motivated. But I did see something of Gertrude Kasebier - and that's all I'm going to tell you about what started me off."
