Somehow, discovering the
creations of one more person in the world shifts the balance of that which is
arcane or unfair or tragic.

Photographer Saul Leiter, taking unusual, thoughtful, slight cousin to Bresson,
in that circumstance fuels his unique capacity to capture a certain feel for
the life he has found around his neighborhood of the last 55 years. “I’m a
person who likes to postpone things. I see no reason for being in a rush. When
you consider many of the things that people treat very seriously and you
realize that they don’t deserve to be treated that seriously. And many of the
things that people worry about are not really worth worrying about. “Saul
Leiter, Photographer
There is a unique documentary, No Great Hurry: 13 Lessons in Life with Saul Leiter,
whose trailer you may enjoy, as well. It shows him in his home, and studio,
talking about being his age, about his creative process. Considering the fame
accorded him by the outside world, and realizing it may be nice, but is
actually of little import to him, in real life.
