Quote: Cornell Capa

The photographer and founding director of the International Center of Photography (ICP) is remembered for his notion of the "Concerned Photographer", one who has a commitment to bettering humanity through photography.

"It took me some time to realize that the camera is a mere tool, capable of many uses...and at last I understood that, for me, its role, its power, and its duty are to comment, describe, provoke discussion, awaken conscience, evoke sympathy."
