"For #BillAron, every #picture is a study in liveliness and colloquial warmth, and he has deployed this warmth to capture #Jewish life over the past 50 years. As he tells it, the decisive moment of taking a picture is the end point of a much larger journey. “I’ve often thought that #photography is so much more than the moment when you press the shutter,” he told the Center for #Jewish History, which is currently hosting a career-spanning retrospective of his work. “Doubtless it is an important moment, when you press the shutter, but I thought that moment really represents how I feel about what’s going on. It also represents a history.”

For Aron, those feelings are centered in his deep reverence for human #stories."
