"In one of the catalogues that accompanied his many showings, Stoumen wrote: 'I try to learn enough art, compassion and laughter to stop time occasionally--to manifest on photographic paper a few ordinary miracles.' Born in Pennsylvania, he worked as a journalist and photographer in New York just before World War II, a period in which he took many of the Times Square photos for which he was famous. In 1985, he put them between hard covers and published the anthology 'Times Square: 45 Years of Photographs'."
