Great Italian photographer Gianni Berengo Gardin died yesterday, age 94.

Could only find an Italian article. Hopefully there will be some in French or English.

Morto Gianni Berengo Gardin, il maestro dei reportage: «Ritoccare le foto è inammissibile, pretendo di vedere quello che ha visto il fotografo»

Tra i più grandi fotografi italiani, è scomparso a 94 anni. Con la sua Leica e il riconoscibile bianco e nero ha raccontato la società, l’architettura e l’ambiente

Toscana, 1965

"To a man who knows nothing, mountains are mountains, waters are waters, and trees are trees. But when he has studied and knows a little, mountains are no longer mountains, waters are no longer waters, and trees are no longer trees. But when he has thoroughly understood, mountains are once again mountains, waters are waters, and trees are trees."

"We look at a thing and think we have seen it and yet what we see is only after what our prejudices tell us should be seen, or what our desires want to see. Very rarely are we able to free our minds of thought and emotions and just see for the simple pleasure of seeing, and so long as we fail to do this, so long will the essence of things be hidden from us."
— Bill Brandt

"The obvious tool of my trade is the tape recorder. But the real tool is curiosity."
— Studs Terkel
