“being in new york, i was most impressed with the loneliness and talent show of emotions in the subways and cafeterias. one night i borrowed a twin lens reflex and went out and photographed people in cafeterias. i developed the film as soon as i came back. what i saw pleased me more than anything i had done before. they weren’t pictures of people. they were pictures of the way i felt.” — ted croner; street seen: the psychological gesture in american photography 1940-1959; p. 91
