“(...) he [Minor White] sought do infuse his work with spiritual aspects of creativity and lessons derived from Oriental thought and Gestalt psychology. He felt that his photographs – black-and-white prints, often of natural subjects – should be viewed as metaphors for human experiences. This statement was originally published in Minor White: Rites and Passages.” Brooks Johnson.

     “(...) While rocks were photographed, the subject of the sequence is not rocks; while symbols seem to appear, they are pointers to the significance. The meaning appears in the space between the images, in the mood they raise in the beholder. The flow of the sequence eddies in the river of his associations as he passes from picture to picture. The rocks and the photographs are only objects upon which significance is spread like sheers on the ground to dry.”          MINOR WHITE  (Lido em: Brooks Johnson, Photography Speaks – 150 Photographers on their Art, Chrysler Museum of Art, New Your 2004)
