A George Harvan Retrospective, 1946-2000

"Well, there's a certain way you see pictures that no one else can see pictures. If you write a story or something, you could only write it. No one else can. I know, I mean, I don't like to be boastful, I know there's a lot of pictures that I see that people don't see because, first of all, you train yourself and it's just the way you feel about things. The pictures down in Gettysburg, and that mannequin -- who would have thought about following a mannequin around for a whole year, in all kind of weather, and going up in the snow, and stooping in the snow photographing a mannequin laying in the snow, with a reed across the face or something like that. Yeah, if I wouldn't have done it, they wouldn't exist. They exist now, but it's not an earth-shaking thing, but it's something that I did. That's about the whole size of it. Nothing's really that important to each individual, I don't think."
