"It's the photographer, not the camera . . . but then again it's the photograph, not the photographer that really matters."

“The key difference between documentary and fictive art is this: in documentary the referent is always essential, whereas in fiction it's only occasional.”
-- Bruce Jackson, from "The Deceptive Anarchy of Let Us Now Praise Famous Men."
"Documentary: That’s a sophisticated and misleading word… The term should be documentary style… You see, a document has use, whereas art is really useless."
- Walker Evans

Cyclops-Optic says:
"All I need is a daily dose of the denizens who abide in Dave Blume's imagery and all the travails that I deem unbearable in my life become somewhat insignificant.
He must surely have a heavy heart."17th March, 2009

zona di fotographia says:
"d_blumenkrantz has captured the real LA, not the Drive or Beverly Hills but the real LA, I grew up in LA and remember downtown LA, Broadway LA, I have often wondered if the Bee Gees really were singing about Broadway in LA?
Without any doubt d_blumenkrantz has captured the essence of a once and real LA. He is one of the best.
I have ridden the night train from LA many times, time, what a time it was…!"28th June, 2008
