Breathtakingly fast and painstakingly slow: Before the introduction of the digital camera, a photographer worked in those parallel time frames.
The click of the shutter was instantaneous, but then the film had to be developed, the contact sheets or color slides reviewed, and the selections made for printing.
Pressed for time, a working photographer typically made these decisions hurriedly.
Bruce Davidson, who turns 90 next month, has been reviewing his archive for the last eight years.
What makes him remarkable is the empathy that won over his subjects and the devoted persistence of his investigations.
