Quotes from Helmut Gernsheim

Photography is the only "language" understood in all parts of the world, and, bridging all nations and cultures, it links the family of man.

Photography is the only language understood in all parts of the world, and bridging all nations and cultures, it links the family of man. Independent of political influence - where people are free - it reflects truthfully life and events, allows us to share in the hopes and despair of others, and illuminates political and social conditions. We become the eye-witnesses of the humanity and inhumanity of mankind.
