"Photography is space, light, texture, of course, but the really important element is time - that nanosecond when the image organizes itself on the ground glass."
~ Ezra Stoller
Ezra Stoller's photograph of the TWA Flight Center at John F. Kennedy International Airport is one of his most iconic works. The TWA Flight Center is an architectural masterpiece designed by Eero Saarinen and completed in 1962. Stoller's photograph of this building captures its striking and futuristic design through the artists carefully trained eye. At this time air travel was a luxurious and pleasurable experience compared to today's standards. The TWA Flight Center and the aesthetics and ambiance of this era of travel have left a lasting impression in the collective memory, and it continues to be celebrated for its role in the history of aviation and design.
