"Rothstein in 1964 was interviewed by Richard Doud for the Smithsonian. In contrast to Rothstein’s articles on the mechanics of picture taking, he offered Doud an analysis of how his picture “Fleeing a Dust Storm” changed over time. Its very meaning. Its purpose."

A single cow stood forlornly facing away from the wind in a dusty field. The building, barns, and sheds were almost buried by drifts and in some places only the tops of fence posts could be seen. I decided to photograph this scene.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://morris.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/23/the-case-of-the-inappropriate-alarm-clock-part-6/?th&emc=th">While making my pictures I could hardly breathe because the dust was everywhere. It was so heavy in the air that the land and the sky seemed to merge until there was no horizon. Strong winds raced along the flat land, picking up the sandy soil and making my hands and face sting.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://morris.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/23/the-case-of-the-inappropriate-alarm-clock-part-6/?th&emc=th">I saw the farmer and his two sons walk against the fields. As they pressed into the wind, the smallest child walked a few steps behind, his hands covering his eyes to protect them from the dust. I caught the three of them as they neared a shed…</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://morris.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/23/the-case-of-the-inappropriate-alarm-clock-part-6/?th&emc=th">the photograph in its visual sincerity may influence the viewer, so does the printed word carry the power of persuasion.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/446AB7D2-D47B-4885-9343-ED14CE66124D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
