Wayne Miller Ella Fitzgerald. Chicago, Illinois, USA. 1948.
“I like stories, I just love them. Because you don’t know what’s going to happen, and as a photographer, if you’re doing a story, you have to have
(...) a beginning and you have to have an end. You don’t know what the end is going to be. And you don’t know what’s happening, you have to develop it as you’re there, and looking at the subject and feeling it, and hearing it,
being pushed around and all. You have to find out: what is the common thread here? What is it that I could say? To me, I find it exciting as can be. The test is just immense. You know you’ve got to pull it off…”
