Irving Haberman has quietly, steadily put together a lifetime of superb work.  His eye for the great shot, the impeccable quality of every photograph, and the respect he earned from his subjects have made him a master of his craft.

Irving Haberman had the gift of friendship, which lured the folks whose pictures he shot to give him their best.  In return, he gave them vivid and evocative pictures.

A pioneering photojournalist, Irving Haberman was a marvelously versatile chronicler of metropolitan life; as a photographer for CBS, he was able to capture the spirit of the times as a new visual medium - television - evolved.  Eyes on an Era (Haberman's book) is delightful and insightful, a celebration of an extraordinary photographic career.

More than anyone else, Irving Haberman could capture the visual and the vision in each person he photographed, indelibly translating the drama of the moment into a picture.
