Charles Moore "Civil Rights and Beyond"
Steven Kasher Gallery
This event has ended.
Moore, as a child, had been so bullied that he enrolled in a Golden Gloves boxing program. What his trainer had told him had guided Moore's moves as a photojournalist: "By looking in my eyes, never, never blinking, never taking you eye away when I start hitting, you will know which way the lick, the blow, is coming, you'll know before it's even thrown," the trainer had said. "You'll just see that tiny, little movement, and you'll be able to block it. If you move your eyes off it, Im going to be able to keep pounding you." The other lesson: Watch your opponent's feet, and you can know his every more.
By following these admonitions, Moore was able to target his camera on a scene and follow it through his lens without flinching or getting distracted.
